Description
Law making is difficult enough in a simple national setting but even harder in multi-level settings such as federal states or the EU. At the central level, laws must respect the autonomy and diversity of the component units, yet be effective, coherent, simple and accessible. At the decentralized level, law makers must, within a given time, implement in their own legislative framework laws drawn up at the central level.
The challenges are discussed in this volume of selected papers from the International Association of Legislation's 2018 Conference at Antwerp University. It covers all multi-tiered systems, but a major focus is on the EU, where the tension between autonomy and efficacy is most evident.
Part I examines the topic at the broadest level, including all types of multi-tiered systems. Part II focuses on the EU perspective and Part III on the perspective of the Member States.
The authors are experts in various disciplines and practitioners, ensuring a multi-disciplinary approach.
