The Evolution of Decision-Making and Sovereignty in the EU Integration

The shift from political to judicial decision-making in the pursuit of EU economic integration has raised questions about sovereignty within the EU framework. Key topics include the division of competences outlined in the treaties, the rise of the judicial sovereign, expansion of EU sovereign through competence creep, and the implementation of proportionality review procedures. Scholars like Grimm, Mangold, Schmitt, and Kelsen have contributed to the discourse on sovereignty and decision-making in the EU.
