About the book

Is the concept of Direct Effect of EC Law out of date? Or does it need to be revamped as a keystone doctrine of EC Law? This was the central theme of the international conference organized in June 2001 at the University of Amsterdam by the Hogendorp Centre, the Amsterdam Law School, the Amsterdam Centre of International Law, the Europa Instituut and the Amsterdam Jean Monnet Platform. The conference brought together speakers from The United Kingdom, Belgium, France and The Netherlands, to address the topic not only from the perspective of EC law, but also from those of domestic constitutional law and public international law. Their contributions reflect the various dimensions of direct effect as a central doctrine of EC Law.

About the G.K. van Hogendorp Centre for European Constitutional Studies 

Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp, 1762-1834, is the auctor intellectualis of the Dutch Kingdom’s first Constitution (1814). To his honour, the G.K. van Hogendorp Centre was founded in 1996 to promote research and teaching of European constitutional studies, thereby combining the disciplines of European and comparative constitutional law as well as legal and political theory. The Centre is supported by the faculties of Humanities and Law of the University of Amsterdam and by the European Union through the Jean Monnet project. Presently, the Centre’s chairman is W. H. Roobol (emeritus Professor of European History), its director is W.T. Eijsbouts (Jean Monnet Chair in European Constitutional Law and History). The Hogendorp Centre hosts yearly international conferences on various topics, such as EMU (1997), Flexibility (1998), Ambiguity in the Rule of Law (1999), Europe’s Constitution (2000) and Direct Effect (2001). From 2000 the publication of their proceedings is in the hands of Europa Law Publishing. The present publication, Direct Effect; Rethinking a Classic of EC Legal Doctrine, is the third volume of ‘The Hogendorp Papers’.
