This 2005 book argues that Europeanization and globalization
have led to ever-more intensive legalization at transnational
level. What accounts for compliance beyond the nation-state? The
authors tackle this question by comparing compliance with
regulations that have been formulated in a very similar way at
different levels of governance. They test compliance with rules at
the national level, at the regional level EU, and at a global
level WTO, finding that in fact the EU has higher levels of
compliance than both international and national rules. The authors
argue that this is because the EU has a higher level of
legalization, combined with effective monitoring mechanisms and
sanctions. In this respect it seems that the European Union has
indeed achieved a high level of legalization and compliance, though
the authors add that this achievement does not settle the related
queries with the legitimacy of transnational governance and
law.
