Establishing the Supremacy of European Law
The Making of an International Rule of Law in Europe
«Review from previous edition 'The Court of Justice is long past its age of innocence. It now attracts, and rightly so, the kind of attention, critical and otherwise, that its older siblings in the US and elsewhere have attracted for years. It is, above all, an institution too important to leave in the hands of lawyers. Gratifyingly, in recent years some political scientists on both sides of the Atlantic have joined the debate. Alter's book is a fine addition to the debate: Sober in tone and refreshing in many of its arguments. Not everyone will agree with all of the book's theses, but no one will deny Alter's important contribution.»

«In this pioneering study, Alter demonstrates her mastery of both European law and the politics of law. She demonstrates that Europe's development of a supranational legal system, which has gone far beyond the limited original design of the European Court of Justice, has become a key vehicle for European integration... As she concludes, "knowing the position of the European Court of Justice has become as important as knowing the position of member states."»
