Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Allocating Authority: Who Should Do What in European and International Law? by Edited by Professor Joana Mendes Edited by Associate Professor Ingo Venzke
The question of which European or international institution should exercise public authority is a highly contested one. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars in the field this new collection offers an innovative approach to answering this vexed question. It argues that by viewing public authority as relative it allows for greater understanding of both its allocation and its legitimacy. Furthermore it argues that relations between actors should reflect the comparative analysis of the legitimacy assets that each actor can bring into governance processes.
