Description
Book SynopsisThe EU is faced with the perpetual challenge of guaranteeing effective enforcement of its law and policies. This book brings together leading EU scholars in law, politics and regulation, to explore the wealth of new legal and regulatory strategies, practices, and actors that are emerging to complement the classic avenues of central and decentralised enforcement.
The contributors evaluate the traditional 'dual vigilance' framework of enforcement before examining network(ed) enforcement from theoretical, empirical and legal perspectives. They assess innovations in key EU policy fields such as the environment, consumer protection, competition, freedom, security and justice, and economic governance.
This multi-disciplinary book will be of use to students and academics in law, political science, regulation and public policy. It will also interest policy makers in EU institutions, national administrations and courts engaged in the implementation and enforcement of EU law and policy.

Trade ReviewA welcome addition to scholarship on the enforcement of EU Law, the Drake and Smith edited collection brings three interrelated approaches to bear on the pressing and familiar challenge of effective enforcement: regulation, networked governance and innovations in enforcement in traditional and new fields of EU competence. In doing so, it requires EU law scholars to reconsider what is meant by enforcement and, through its engagement with political science, brings this important legal question to a wider EU Studies audience. --Imelda Maher MRIA, University College Dublin, Ireland
New Directions in the Effective Enforcement of EU Law and Policy is an important book on an important topic. Demonstrating a deep commitment to interdisciplinary work, not least among lawyers and political scientists, it casts fresh light on what are increasingly creative strategies for achieving effective enforcement in the fragmented and fluid system of EU governance. At the heart of this is a clear understanding of the different roles and perspectives of multiple actors, not just the European Commission. --Richard Rawlings, University College London, UK
