The European Court of Justice's Great Judgments provide a fresh perspective on the landmark rulings issued by the European Court of Justice in the 1960s and 1970s. By comparing the Court's doctrines to the enforcement and escape mechanisms employed by more prevalent types of trade treaty, the book illustrates how the individual rights established by the doctrine of direct effect were intertwined with the practical complexities of trade politics among European states, particularly the suppression of unilateral safeguard mechanisms and inter-state retaliation. Drawing on the writings and speeches of French Judge and President of the Court, Robert Lecourt, the book demonstrates that one of the Court's most influential judges shared this understanding of the logic of direct effect. This book offers a unique interpretation of the Court of Justice's early years and the purpose of the fundamental principles of European law.
