This book represents the first in an annual series of publications which aim to focus attention on Malta and the EU, thus contributing to the body of academic knowledge and also providing a clear opportunity for the Institute to focus its research output in the light of important events both at a national and an EU level. It was therefore fitting that the first volume should provide the only academic assessment of the Maltese Presidency of the Council of the EU. ; peer-reviewed

The purpose of this book is to provide an easy access to and overview of the case law of the ECJ (the Court of Justice of the European Union, previously Court of Justice of the European Communities) pertaining to private international law. The book contains edited extracts from all ECJ decisions of immediate private international law relevance made before 1 January 2012.

"Resisting Europe conceptualizes the foreign policies of Europe-defined as the European Union and its member states-toward the states in its immediate southern "neighborhood" as semi-imperial attempts to turn these states into Europe's southern buffer zone, or borderlands. In these hybrid spaces, different types of rules and practices coexist and overlap, and negotiations over meaning and implementation take place. This book examines the diverse modalities by which states in the Mediterranean Middle East and North Africa (MENA) reject, resist, challenge, modify, or entirely change European policies and preferences and provides rich empirical evidence of these contestation practices in the fields of migration and border control, banking and finance, democracy promotion and telecommunications. It addresses the complex question of when and how MENA states capitalize on their leverage and interdependence in their relationships with Europe and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of Europe-Middle East relations, while engaging with broader debates on power and interdependence, order and contestation in international relations. While a contribution on the practices of resistance and contestation of MENA states vis-à-vis European policies and preferences in this geopolitically significant region was overdue, this volume leads the way for subsequent studies that seek to overcome the constraints of exceptionalism so characteristic of research of the Middle East, Europe/the European Union, and certainly of their relationship"--

Which member states could leave the European Union in the years ahead? To answer this question, I develop the 'EU Exit Index' measuring the exit propensities of all European Union member states. The index highlights that the United Kingdom was an outlier and uniquely positioned to leave the European Union. While all other states are far behind the United Kingdom, the index still reveals substantial variation among them. Moreover, the index allows monitoring the development of exit propensities over time. It shows that the European Union is in better shape today than before the Brexit referendum and that, currently, no further exits are on the horizon. Still, this could change in the future and the EU Exit Index provides systematic and reproducible measurements to track this development.

"This book develops a timely critique of the complex trends emerging in EU integration as it responds to the 'big issues' of our time. Repeated economic crises, the climate emergency, digitalisation and geopolitical turmoil are all having a profound societal and economic effect. The EU Commission has been adding these 'big issues' as public interest justifications for its competition policy and is adjusting existing approaches and instruments accordingly. This is not without its constitutional implications. Firstly, it impacts on the limits of EU competition law in light of the Treaties. Secondly, it affects the relationship between the relevant actors and the processes through which EU competition law is implemented. This collection brings together EU institutional and competition lawyers, to reflect on the constitutional challenges and governance questions. The essays focus on the substantive and procedural developments across the three main policy areas of EU competition law: state aid, antitrust and merger control. Both EU constitutional and competition lawyers will be interested in this important new collection."--
