This volume of essays casts light on the
shape and future direction of the EU in the wake of the Lisbon Treaty and
highlights the incomplete nature of the reforms. Contributors analyse some of
the most innovative and most controversial aspects of the Treaty, such as the
role and nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the relationship
between the EU and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, they reflect
on the ongoing economic and financial crisis in the Euro area, which has forced
the EU Member States to re-open negotiations and update a number of aspects of
the Lisbon 'settlement'. Together, the essays provide a variety of insights into
some of the most crucial innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty and in the
context of the adoption of the new European Financial Stability
Mechanism.
