BOOK DESCRIPTION


Finds that the role of law and litigation has substantially changed within the European Union and that Europe has adopted many of the important characteristics of adversarial legalism associated with and historically viewed as distinctive to the United States.

Most Europeans have long viewed American legal and regulatory style with a mixture of amusement and horror. Ambulance-chasing lawyers, class action lawsuits, punitive damage awards, and adversarial, litigious relationships among government, industry and interest groups are viewed as expressions of American exceptionalism. Scholarship on comparative law and public policy backs up this view, demonstrating that the predominant approach to law and regulation in the US – which Robert Kagan has termed ‘adversarial legalism’ - differs substantially from the approaches that have long prevailed across western Europe.


The central argument of this book is that is that the process of European integration is encouraging the spread of a European variant of adversarial legalism – Eurolegalism. Together, the European Union’s (EU) fragmented institutional structure and its ongoing project of market integration generate political incentives and functional pressures that regularly lead EU policy-makers to rely on Eurolegalism as a mode of governance. Time and time again, across a wide range of policy areas, EU lawmakers enact detailed, transparent, judicially enforceable rules – often framed as ‘rights’ – and back these with a combination of public enforcement litigation and enhanced opportunities for private litigation by individuals, interest groups and firms.
For critics, the advent of Eurolegalism can be viewed as the regrettable spread of an American disease, leading to a surfeit of lawyers, increased legal expenses, slower regulatory processes, increasingly adversarial relations between stakeholders in the policy process and to forms of judicial activism that ultimately erode democracy. Others may welcome the increased legal certainty, access to justice for previously marginalized groups and transparency and accountability of regulatory processes that Eurolegalism may encourage. However one judges the developments described in this book, the EU’s heavy reliance on Eurolegalism as a mode of governance is likely to continue.
