The European Union's growing accountability deficit threatens to undermine its legitimacy. This was acknowledged by the Member States in Nice in February 2001. Recognising the need to improve 'the democratic legitimacy and transparency of the Union and its institutions', they agreed to launch a debate on the Union's future. At Laeken in December 2001, the Member States decided that the debate should be carried forward in a Convention comprising the main parties involved. The debate will start to crystallise in 2004, when negotiations on a new set of Treaty changes will begin. The outcome of those negotiations will profoundly affect the constitutional and political health of the Union as it confronts enlargement to the east and south and the challenges of the 21st century. However, the Union's accountability and legitimacy deficit is so deep-seated that it is unlikely to be eradicated completely by the changes agreed. The issue will therefore remain high on the political agenda for the foreseeable future. The contributors to this interdisciplinary collection of essays consider various aspects of accountability and legitimacy in the European Union. How open should the Union's decision-making be? What is the right balance between accountability and efficiency? Does the Union now need a formal constitution? How can respect for democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law in the Union best be ensured? These are just some of the questions explored in this book. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the future of Europe, from students and academics to policy-makers, and journalists

`Review from other book by this author Easy to understand; suitable for undergraduate students, up-to-date and well-developed' Dr K Bromek-Broc, University of Hull `This is an excellent book...a useful, well-conceived and thouroughtly well-excecuted monograph...his (Arnull's) book provides a fresh and interesting look at many of the ECU's jurisprudential milestones...The book's stimulting contents, not to mention OUP's competitive price, should guarantee such success.' Siofra O'Leary Common Market Law Review 37, 2000 `a solid work in the genre and should be available to any researcher in EU legal and political affairs ... rich in references to cases and to secondary material ... demonstrates an intimate knowledge of the texts and contexts of the work of the Court' J.H. Eastby, CHOICE Dec. 2000, Vol.38, No.4. `Arnull's work provides a comprehensive , critical, and scholarly analysis of onr of the most powerful judicial institutions of our time.' European Law Review `This book targets two main audiences, specialist lawyers well-versed in the case law of the Court, and non-specialists who increasingly encounter problems relating to EU law. The first will not be disappointed whilst the second will find the lucidity of the analysis rewarding.' European Law Review `The author unravels judicial principles and policy with objectivity.' European Law Review `This book is a most valuable contribution to scholarship by an expert in the field...Arnull's judgement on Europe's judges will carry much weight.' European Law Review `...this is a good and useful book that manages to present the huge case law of the ECJ in a comprehensible way.'
