Reviews

'The Treaty of Lisbon limped into force in 2009, stripped of constitutional flourish and accompanied by a sense of political exhaustion. And yet the economic and financial crisis (in particular) has made vivid how much more needs to be done. This volume successfully captures the incomplete yet dynamic character of the Lisbon reforms: it is splendidly forward-looking.' Stephen Weatherill, University of Oxford
