Introduction: The Great Rule of Law Debate in the EU
本文介绍欧盟部分国家出现的“法治倒退”问题，概述欧盟机构应对“非自由政权”的现有机制和新工具，并简要总结研讨会上首次发表的论文。
Abstract Faced with what has been labeled ‘rule of law backsliding’ in some EU countries, EU institutions have sought to address the rise of ‘illiberal regimes’ via existing mechanisms as well as new instruments. This introductory contribution offers an overview of the problem and a brief summary of the papers to follow and which were first presented at a workshop co‐organized by the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law and Middlesex University London.
