Dynamics of Powers in the European Union

<p><b>Separation of powers is the time-tested touchstone of the legitimate exercise of power in modern democracies. This collection examines decision-making in the EU's multilayered and polycentric constitutional structure through this lens.</b> <p/>The focus on separation of powers reveals how strong executive powers collaborate in the EU as a single source of public power which is not sufficiently counterbalanced by parliaments or the judiciary. The collection explores 3 policy fields marked by crisis: the economic and monetary union (EMU) migration and trade. Drawing on expertise from across these sectors with a strong conceptual thread linking all the contributions this important work illustrates how different branches of government co-determine each others' powers.</p>
