Reviews

“Global Perspectives on Subsidiarity is a timely piece of literature on the topic of subsidiarity which has been gaining attention outside the circles of experts on federalism and EU law. … The volume should be praised for bringing together a wealth of analyses of subsidiarity and providing an overview of subsidiarity’s origins and destinies. … the book informs and inspires legal and political science scholarship on subsidiarity which has existed for centuries, or even millennia.” (Machiko Kanetake, International Journal of Constitutional Law, Vol. 13 (4), October, 2015)
