Building a Successful Fiscal Federation

Constitutional Lessons for the EU

This open access book establishes an interpretative framework by means of a functionalist-originalist reading of EU law and comparative federalism, in particular US constitutional law. The EU is undergoing one of the most profound structural crises of its history, relating to the rule of law and fundamental rights. The author conceptualises the existential question in terms of ontology, constitutional legitimacy, doctrine and institutional process. By providing the first conceptual methodology (based on comparative federalism and focusing on law and rights) the book develops proposals which can be used to address the EU's current constitutional challenges. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Enforcing Founding Values Against Member States

The Diagonality Problem of European Constitutionalism

Written by leading practitioners in the field, this book provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law. The subject is split into various areas of practice. First regulatory rules, which embrace the constitutional aspect of organised sport including the disciplinary procedures of the various sport governing organisations. Second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players. Third, player's rights and obligations which embraces a wide range of legal issues including club transfers and player contracts, and issues arising from employment (including discrimination law), personal injury and criminal law. Special attention is paid to the impact of EU and Human Rights law as well as to the influential jurisprudence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Written by an expert team, including the father of sports law, Michael Beloff QC, this is required reading for all those practising in the field.

European Yearbook on Human Rights 2026

This book is an insightful, thought-provoking study of one of the world's most important courts. There is no doubt that the European Court of Justice has had a transformative effect on EU Law, but not without controversy. 

This book explores these criticisms, asking if concerns over judicial activism, unconventional interpretative methods, conflicts with national courts and over-reach are justified. Drawing on the expertise of leading commentators in their sectors, its ambitious scope explores the question from across the spectrum of EU Law. Its analysis includes the political dimension, giving the fullest understanding of the environment in which the Court and its judgments have operated.

The European Court of Justice and its Critics

This book provides a novel judicial framework for receiving and considering religious and cultural claims in shaping human rights in constitutional secular democracies. It does this through an extended case study of the Indian constitutional jurisprudence. Abortion and surrogacy, LGBTQ + rights, sex work and euthanasia are arguably the most controversial human rights issues of our time. They all invite passionate religious and cultural debate but are not themselves religious or cultural rights issues. Instead, they pose a fundamental constitutional question: How far can religion and culture go in shaping general human rights in secular constitutional democracies? Moving beyond the logic of individual rights, this book provides an integrated and holistic approach to answering this classic question of constitutional law. To do this, it proposes an innovative empirically backed normative-theoretical framework which synthesises insights from cultural psychoanalysis, feminist legal scholarship, socio-legal method, constitutional law, evidence law, and political theory. It looks at a unique constellation of cases belonging to eight different human rights themes covering the period since India's independence in 1947 and systematically analyses the religious and cultural claims made in those cases. It finds that in India, a more holistic approach to answering our classic constitutional puzzle requires a simultaneous consideration of three different theories: A theory of constitutional interpretation which formulates restrictions on a judge considering religious and cultural claims in fundamental rights cases; A theory of judicial notice which determines when such claims can be admitted without proof; A theory of secularism and public reason which argues that the claims must be given weight in the final decision only if they match defensible conceptions of constitutional values. The book develops these theories and applies them to the Indian cases, providing an innovative approach to an age-old question.

Hospitality, Sovereignty and the Law of Migration

Welcoming the Stranger

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Studies in International Law

This book offers the first comprehensive study of unjust enrichment as a principle of international law. While domestic legal systems have long recognised unjust enrichment as a basis for restitution, its role in international law remains underexplored. This book addresses this gap by examining the roles of the international norm against unjust enrichment both as an independent basis for a claim and in the development and interpretation of other international norms. It explores the far-reaching implications of this norm for inter-state relations and investment arbitration. The book advances three key arguments: that unjust enrichment claims in international law may extend to indirect recipients; that states enriched through conduct harming another state can incur liability in unjust enrichment even without a transfer of value from the harmed state to the enriched state; and that the principle of unjust enrichment is not merely subsidiary to the law of state responsibility for internationally wrongful conduct. Through rigorous analysis, the book explores the rationales underlying unjust enrichment - proprietary, fairness, and wrongfulness - and evaluates their applicability in the international arena. It also considers practical challenges such as indeterminacy, multiple-claimant situations, and the risk of proliferating disputes. Drawing on jurisprudence from the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, ICSID, and other international tribunals, as well as comparative insights from English, German, US, and other domestic laws, the book provides a nuanced framework for applying unjust enrichment in international law. It will be indispensable for scholars of public international law, practitioners engaged in inter-state adjudication, government lawyers, and investment arbitration specialists seeking principled solutions to complex disputes.

Unjust Enrichment in International Law

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

This book traces the legal creation of National Parks in England and Wales, considering how statute and case law shaped the different provisions within the National Park and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. National parks are often associated with hiking, holidaying, and nature but they are rarely perceived as legal spaces. Yet national parks in England and Wales only exist through the legal processes contained within the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, a piece of legislation which is internationally unique in how it defines what a national park is. In celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, the book examines the legally unique nature of national parks in England and Wales, exploring why these spaces were created in a legally distinct way. In doing so, the book takes the reader on a journey through the ever-evolving landscapes of planning law, administrative law, and property law in the 19th and 20th centuries, providing a new perspective on the enactment of national parks legislation. In presenting the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 as part of a wider system of legal change, the book encourages the reader to think differently about national parks, emphasising the inherently legal nature of these spaces. This book is the perfect companion for any reader seeking to understand how national parks in England and Wales legally came to be.

Elements of International Law

Reservations constitute the principal mechanism by which states may modify or limit the legal effect of treaty obligations following the adoption of a treaty text. Yet they remain among the most complex and contested features of the law of treaties, even for experienced international lawyers. Set against the broader framework of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Reservations to Treaties offers a clear, systematic, and practically oriented account of how to identify, interpret, and apply the rules governing reservations.

Drawing on an extensive body of state practice, encompassing more than 150 states and over eighty treaties, the book grounds its analysis in diverse geographical and historical contexts. Through detailed examples and careful engagement with practice, it illustrates how reservations operate across a wide range of subject areas within international law. The chapters provide a structured and accessible guide to navigating this often perplexing area, supported by comprehensive referencing and analysis.

Combining rigorous scholarship with detailed examples, the book is designed to support both specialists and non-specialists in navigating treaty practice, while contributing to a deeper understanding of how reservations shape treaty relations and the development of the international rule of law.
