The reasoning of the court of justice of the EU : a normative assessment
Description
Alezini LOXA and Luigi LONARDO. The reasoning of the court of justice of the EU : a normative assessment. Oxford ; New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2026. Online resource, e-book.
This edited volume offers a ground-breaking contribution to the study of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) by shifting the focus from descriptive accounts of its jurisprudence to normative evaluations of its legal reasoning. Building on a shared conceptual foundation derived from the Court's adjudicative practices, the book brings together a diverse array of scholarly perspectives that critically assess the CJEU's reasoning both in abstract terms and within specific doctrinal contexts. The volume is structured around two complementary approaches: one that examines the Court's techniques of adjudication across policy areas through a horizontal, theoretical lens, and another that engages deeply with specific aspects of case law, offering alternative interpretations grounded in distinct normative frameworks.
