`"This well timed and wide-ranging book is a must read for anyone
interested in the question whether and how the European Union might
succeed as a community of values committed to the rule of
law."'
Professor Mattias Kumm, NYU School of Law and WZB Berlin Social
Science Research Center
`"This is a path-breaking contribution whose innovative
thought-provoking analysis will capture the readers within the
discussion of one of the key issues in Europe today: the protection
and enforcement of rule of law and other key values. A must for
anyone interested in possible future paths of law and values'
enforcement as well as the current state of the law."'
Gianni Buquicchio, President, Venice Commission for Democracy
through Law
`"Certain books deserve particular attention at moments of despair.
The current confusion in the EU is such a moment and this book is
the one that deserves the attention. It points to what responsible
politicians do not wish to admit: that the EU is devoid of
effective remedies to have its rules and values enforced."'
András Sajó, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
`"there is no doubt that the Jakab-Kochenov volume makes a
significant contribution to the on-going discussion. It
demonstrates the urgent need to find solutions for the values
crises in EU Member States by both exploring existing mechanisms
and proposing new ones"'
Matteo Bonelli, European Constitutional Law Review
