    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Providing perspectives from different fields of study such as public policy and politics as well as legal analysis, this book highlights the rule of law as a fundamental value of the European Union, and examines how this is implemented throughout the Member States.



    The Rule of Law Under Threat explores empirical evidence and quantitative methods for studying the dynamics of this imperative legal principle in interdisciplinary research. Internationally renowned experts consider the rule of law in the context of previous and future accessions to the EU in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, with particular focus on Hungary as one of the most recent and notorious cases of rule of law deficits in the EU. Finally, the book analyses the legal and political toolbox that the EU has at its disposal to counter the erosion of rule of law standards, including the Article 7 procedure, as well as strategies which recognise specific national discourses on and perceptions of the rule of law.



    Students and scholars in constitutional and administrative law, European law, law and politics, and legal history will benefit from this book’s multidisciplinary approach to the rule of law. It is also an essential resource for practitioners and decision-makers in EU nations as well as candidate countries.

    This title contains one or more Open Access chapters.

    ‘The editors have managed to gather highly interesting contributions that cover various aspects of the current challenges to the rule of law within the European Union and shed light on the most pressing issues. All contributors to the volume show a high degree of awareness of the different approaches to the rule of law, especially with a view to the “new” Member States, the developments of which are central to most of the book’s chapters. [...] The volume and its contributions are of great interest especially to legal scholars in the fields of European Union law and constitutional law as well as for political scientists, but may also serve as a reminder and companion for political decision makers.’
