Single issue EU referendums
Single-issue referendums – which give voters a say on specific European Union (EU) policies or general questions of European integration – were rarely employed before the 2000s, but they have since become commonplace. Examples include Greece’s 2015 referendum on negotiations with the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF), Hungary’s 2016 referendum on the relocation of refugees between EU member states and the UK’s 2016 vote to leave the EU. Th…
A decade of EU law in the courts of Scotland and Ireland
This paper presents the findings of a comparative statistical study examining the application and trends in the deployment and utilisation of European Union (EU) law before the Scottish and Irish courts over a 10-year period from 2009–2018. The paper poses the question, how does European integration impact on the domestic legal systems of EU Member States due to the increasing volume, and significance, of cases where EU law is raised and applied …
Competition Law Fragmentation in a Globalizing World
This is a review essay of Caron Beaton‐Wells and Ariel Ezrachi (eds.), Criminalising Cartels: Critical Studies of an International Regulatory Movement (2011); David J. Gerber, Global Competition: Law, Markets, and Globalization (2010); and Ioannis Lianos and D. Daniel Sokol (eds.), The Global Limits of Competition Law (2012). It explores the fragmented nature of national competition laws in the context of globalization and several harmonizing tre…
British Brinkmanship and Gaelic Games
Research Highlights and Abstract Viewed from the theory of two-level games, the European Union (EU) Act (2011) is a rare example of a government tying its hands in international diplomacy. The UK government could find its hands more tightly bound than anticipated under the EU Act, inter alia, due to the enhanced role of the courts in EU treaty ratification. The EU Act could convey bargaining advantages to the UK, but it could also encourage other…
Competition Law and Transnational Private Regulatory Regimes
Cartels today are prohibited under competition regimes around the world, although seen historically (in Europe at least) as a public good to be tolerated or even encouraged by governments. Despite the prohibition, illegal cartels are still prevalent, and there are circumstances where cartel‐like conduct is allowed under competition rules. This article explores the extent to which such conduct can be both subject to one regulatory regime (competit…
Functional and normative delegation to non-majoritarian institutions
The principal-agent approach to EU studies
Soft law and sanctions
The highly formalized Stability and Growth Pact gives ECOFIN power to impose sanctions on states that breach the Pact's budgetary targets. As the ECOFIN meeting in November 2003 showed, it has considerable but not unlimited discretion. The Commission has called for a more flexible interpretation of the Pact, the strengthening of sanctions against non-compliant member states and successfully litigated the legality of the ECOFIN decision. We argue …
Competition Law in the International Domain
Central to the internationalization of competition law has been the emergence of transnational networks of competition officials and experts. These networks have operated in three main areas: co‐ordination on enforcement; technical assistance; and moves to develop overarching competition principles at the level of the WTO. The debate over the nature of internationalization of competition norms has fallen into three phases: early failures mainly d…
Economic and monetary union
There is a double asymmetry in the structure of economic and monetary union (EMU). First, monetary policy is uniform while national economic policies are merely co-ordinated. The credibility of monetary policy is underwritten by an independent European Central Bank, but this is not sufficient as the objective of price stability depends on other aspects of economic policy. Thus greater coordination of national economic policies is needed to secure…
The Open Method as a New Mode of Governance
Taking economic co‐ordination in EMU as a starting point, this article explores the development of the open method of co‐ordination, addressing whether it is a new form of governance from two related perspectives. First, to what extent can the method be effectively applied outside the scope of economic policy? Second, will it lead to policy transfer to the EU and hence act only as a transitional mode of governance? Identified at the Lisbon Europe…
Juridification, Codification and Sanction in UK Competition Law
Community Law in the National Legal Order
Within an emerging global system of law national legal orders are just one dimension of a world‐wide network of legal communications. The Community as a legal order dependent on the Member States for its creation and implementation of its norms shores up the state in this increasingly global and fragmented system. Although this interdependency facilitates the implementation of Community norms, difficulties remain because of the different characte…
Limitations on community regulation in the UK
The implementation of EC law in Britain is influenced by confluence between Community and national law and policy. At the same time, the trend towards greater centralization of policy and law‐making in the UK is reinforced by EC law, both through the reporting systems introduced under new approach directives and the fact that central government is ultimately responsible under EC law for implementation. The primacy of the Community‐member state ax…
