Towards a European Public Law – eBook

Description

**Book Description:**

European public law is a dynamic and evolving field, and this exploration addresses the pivotal question: how has it come to be, and what distinct nature does it embody? In *Towards a European Public Law* (PDF), the author, **Stirn**, presents a compelling argument that the emergence of European public law is driven by the convergence of three foundational spheres: the law of the European Union (EU), the regulatory framework of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the various domestic legal systems across member states. This interwoven relationship between these elements has catalyzed their evolution, particularly evident in the jurisprudence established by the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union.

This insightful ebook initiates its journey by tracing the historical trajectory of the European project from the aftermath of World War I. It encapsulates the transformative journey from the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community to the comprehensive formation of the European Union, while also recognizing the instrumental contributions of various institutions that have influenced these legal developments.

As the narrative unfolds, the focus transitions to the concept of the European legal order. Stirn meticulously examines how both the law of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights, despite encountering occasional obstacles, are increasingly harmonizing. The analysis delves deep into their growing similarities and the way these legal frameworks are shaping one another.

Moreover, the manuscript investigates the intricate relationship between European law and national legal systems, scrutinizing the varied approaches to the domestic incorporation of international law, whether monist or dualist. The text highlights the supremacy of European law over domestic legislation and provides a nuanced discussion of EU law, emphasizing its unique characteristics alongside the principles it shares with domestic legal frameworks.

The ebook also assesses the presence and role of constitutional courts within member states, the hierarchy of jurisdictional orders, and the employment status of judges. Furthermore, it recognizes prevalent trends in public administration across Europe and methodically evaluates these patterns. Stirn presents a convincing argument that a coherent model of European public administration is emerging.
