Opposition in the EU Multi-Level Polity

More about the book

Challenging the notion of the EU as a governance model devoid of opposition, the book explores how civil society can contest EU policies through legal mobilization and constitutional litigation. It includes case studies on constitutional challenges to the EU Data Retention Directive in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Ireland, highlighting the motivations, preconditions, and challenges of such legal actions. By integrating insights from social movements, law, and comparative government, it appeals to those interested in political science, sociology, and legal studies.
