Upgrading Rule of Law in Europe in Populist Times
Upgrading Rule of Law in Europe in Populist Times

Summary/Abstract: The task of this brief editorial is to provide a concise tour d’horizon of EU law development in the field of the Rule of Law over the last years, which have significantly reinforced the powers of the supranational institutions in the domains, which have previously never been considered part of supranational competence/purview of regulation. While the EU has thereby matured, entering a period of new, more credible ‘constitutionalism’ claims, the solution of the problems, which this de facto power grab was intended to solve is nowhere in sight: delegating sore issues to ‘Europe’ does not bring the expected dividends in the populist times, inviting a conversation about alternative approaches and solutions required.
