Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Juridification of Individual Sanctions and the Politics of EU Law by Eva Nanopoulos
This book sheds light on the constitutive dynamics and causes of developments in the field of sanctions with a focus on the juridification of individual sanctions at the European level. First the author revisits the phenomenon of individualisation – moving beyond the conventional narrative that individual sanctions emerged because of humanitarian and effectiveness concerns – and situates the ‘smarting’ of sanctions within the context of broader structural transformations characterised by the consolidation of the global neoliberal order. Second the book explores why the role of law has been so pronounced in the European context by unearthing the connections between EU law and capitalist order building.
