Martinico & Pollicino: The Interaction Between Europe’s Legal Systems: Judicial Dialogue and the Creation of Supranational Laws

Giuseppe Martinico (Centro de Estudios Politicos y Constitucionales) & Oreste Pollicino (Bocconi Univ. - Law) have published The Interaction Between Europe’s Legal Systems: Judicial Dialogue and the Creation of Supranational Laws (Edward Elgar Publishing 2012). Here's the abstract:
This book examines the broad issue of the rapprochement between the legal systems of the EU and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) and asks whether the two systems are converging. While the literature on the issue of the national application of EC/EU law or that of ECHR norms is voluminous, a specific comparative analysis that takes into account the national judicial treatment of both laws has been lacking, until now.
