De ontwikkeling van strafrecht in het kader van de Europese Unie kan niet of nauwelijks op enthousiasme rekenen. Het ontbreekt aan 'Europese idealen' die het EU-strafrecht (meer) overtuigingskracht zouden kunnen geven. In zijn oratie gaat prof. mr. P.A.M. Verrest op zoek naar die Europese idealen.

Het strafrecht wer...

There is change from the paradigm of hierarchy to a paradigm of cooperation. This affects administrative law, which is traditionally top-down, but is slowly accepting and incorporating mechanisms of negotiation and bottom-up involvement of stakeholders and concerned individuals.
