Avant-propos
During the many years that this book was in preparation, we had the luck of benefiting
from the assistance, advice, andsupport ofa number of remarkable colleagues,including
Leonardo Álvarez Álvarez, Eszter Bodnár, Bojan Bugarič, Aleksejs Dimitrovs, Federico
Fabbrini, Tamás Győrfi,Tamás Hoffmann,Miklós Hollán, Balázs Horváthy,EsterHerlin
Karnell, Mónika Papp, Michael Meyer-Resende, Kim Lane Scheppele, Gábor Sulyok,
JonathanTomkin,AnnaTsiftsoglu,DavidWineroither,andAndrejZwitter.Mostimport-
antly, however, we would like to thank the authors of the book for their engaging
scholarship, constant support, and, importantly with a volume as large as this one, their
infinitepatience.Wearegratefulalsotothescholarswhoseworkdidnotpasspeerreview
andwasthusnotincludedinthisvolume.
The idea of the present volume grew out of a conference organized by the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences, with the generous support of the Swedish, Dutch, French, and US
embassiesinBudapest,on‘TheEnforcementofEULawagainstMemberStates’on21May
2013, which made it clear that the EU cannot do much in terms of the enforcement of
values.Thisiswhentheworkonthisvolumestarted.Theinitialstructurewaspennedata
café not far from the Academy and the authors’ workshop followed in one year’s time,
wherethedraftswerediscussedin-depth.WearethankfultoMattiasKumm whohosted
the authors’ workshop at WZB in Berlin and to all the scholars who attended without
submittingchapters.
Alec Swann, Elinor Shields, and Natasha Flemming of Oxford University Press made
thisbookadelighttoworkon.PázmányPeterCatholicUniversity,BudapestandStichting
voor Bevoordering van Europees Recht, Groningen contributed financial support to the
linguisticrevisionsofthemanuscript.Lastbutnotleast,thiscollectionwouldnothavebeen
possible without the dedication and help of a number of our assistants, including Eva
Kappelhof (Groningen), Justin Lindeboom (London), Harry Panagopoulos (Brussels),
Jacquelyn Veraldi (Groningen), and especially, Bálint Gárdos (Budapest), who was at the
leadofthehands-onworkonthisbook.Thankyou.
