A CITIZENS GUIDE TO THE RULE OF LAW - ADIS MERD...

In our daily lives  the rule of law matters more than anything and yet remains an invisible
presence. We trust in the rule of law to protect us from governmental overreach  mafia
godfathers  or the will of the majority. We take the rule of law for granted  often failing to
recognize its demise-until it is too late. For under attack it is  not only in the growing
number of authoritarian countries around the world but in Europe  too.As a citizen's guide 
this book explains in plain language what the rule of law is  why it matters  and why we have
to defend it. The starting point is to ask why EU efforts to promote the rule of law in
candidate countries have succeeded or failed  and what this tells us about what is happening
inside the EU. The authors move on to suggest ways of strengthening the rule of law in Europe
and beyond. This book is a call to action in defense of the most precious human invention of
all time.
