About the book

Ever since the Dassonville and Cassis de Dijon rulings, the ‘European’ rule of reason stands for the dilemma between EU norm imposition and requirements of general interest. It surfaces at various settings within EU law. The motto of the Union, ‘united in diversity’, reflects the balance between (European) unity and (national) diversity that has to be struck at almost every field of Union activity, with different results at each instance. 
This book contains the papers of a conference organised by the University of Amsterdam on the Rule of Reason concept. It is meant to comprise a full account of the legal state of affairs. It addresses the topic not only from the perspective of EC law, but also from those of constitutional law, public international law and private 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 forthcoming publication, Rule of Reason; Rethinking another Classic of EC Legal Doctrine, will be the fourth volume of  ‘The Hogendorp Papers’.
