Abstract: | The authors of the article have developed a first-stage theory of the role of the Court in the community that marries the insights of legal scholars in the area with a theoretical framework developed by political scientists. The article examines the question of explaining legal integration and offers a brief review of the principal elements of neofunctionalist theory. It also details the ways in which the process of legal integration as engineered by the Court fits the neofunctionalist model. By legal integration the authors mean the gradual penetration of EC law into the domestic law of its member states. |
