Alicja Sikora

Constitutionalisation of Environmental Protection in EU Law by Dr. Alicja Sikora is at the same time theoretically ambitious and pragmatically lucid. It is a thought-provoking synthesis of political, social, legal and constitutional processes of fundamental importance that reach from the early 1970's to the present day. The book simultaneously proposes and predicts future legal and judicial developments that would consolidate the constitutional protection of the environment in the EU. The author demonstrates not only extraordinary linguistic skills that extend from major EU languages to Finnish and Lithuanian, but also mastery of the relevant case law of the EU and international courts, the protection of the environment in Member State constitutional law and academic doctrine. The book is enjoyable and indispensable reading for any lawyer interested in EU constitutional law or EU environmental law.
