    Perpetual momentum: directed and unconstrained?
    in Journal of European Public Policy , Volume 19, Issue 1 2012 ,  2012 ,  127-139
    At the most general level, the perpetual momentum of ‘integration through law’ is driven by the substantive dynamics of legal doctrines extending the protection of individual interests and by procedural conditions facilitating the use of European law to challenge the institutional regimes of EU member states. Given the supremacy and direct effect of European law, and the decision rules of EU policy making, this momentum could not be halted through political or judicial intervention.
