The Governance of EU Justice Reforms: The Role of the EU Justice Scoreboard and Country-Specific Recommendations in Shaping National Judicial Systems

This book explores how EU soft law tools reshape national justice systems. Combining legal analysis, empirical data, policy critique, and insights from political science and law & economics, it reveals the missing links between EU governance, national policies, and the politics of procedural law. Its groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary approach challenges conventional beliefs and invites readers to rethink how justice reforms are governed in today's Europe. This critical examination provides a fresh framework for understanding the impact of EU-driven reforms on reshaping domestic procedural laws.
