Law and Governance in Postnational Europe: Compliance Beyond the Nation-State

by Michael Zürn (Editor), Christian Joerges (Editor)

Overview

Arguing that legal rules can be implemented beyond national boundaries, this volume examines compliance beyond the nation-state. Four contributors compare compliance with regulations that have been formulated in a very similar way at different levels of governance. They demonstrate that nation states do not necessarily display the best compliance records and that a high degree of legalization, verification and sanctioning systems seem to be more important.
