Abstract

Constitutionalising the External Dimensions of EU Migration Policies in Times of Crisis, Legality, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Reconsidered, Edited by Sergio Carrera, Juan Santos Vara and Tineke Strik, London, 2019, 336 p. ISBN: PB: 978 1 78897 247 5. Reviewed by João Carlos Jarochinski Silva. The book edited by Sergio Carrera, Juan Santos Vara and Tineke Strik brings essential contributions to two of the most critical challenges of the European Union today: the decrease in integration and the breakdown of institutionalism in the face of human mobility of extra-community people. Stemming from a workshop held in 2017 at the University of Salamanca, it is divided into two parts. The first, EU External Migration Policies: New and old dynamics, which has six articles; and the second, EU crisis-led patterns of cooperation in light of the EU rule of law, which is composed of nine articles. In addition to these fifteen articles, the editors wrote an introductory chapter.
