Jean-Claude Piris, the Director General of the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union, provides such an analysis, looking at the historical and political contexts of the Treaty, its impact on the democratic framework of the EU and its provisions in relation to substantive law. Impartial legal analysis of the EU's functions, its powers and the treaties which govern it make this the seminal text on the most significant recent development in EU law. 410 0$aCambridge studies in European law and policy. 606 $aConstitutional law$zEuropean Union countries 615 0$aConstitutional law 676 $a341.242/2 700 $aPiris$b Jean-Claude$0475269 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458905203321 996 $aThe Lisbon Treaty$92455536 997 $aUNINA
