Secession Is A Live Issue In Today's Western Europe. In The Last Decade, We Have Witnessed The Consolidation Of Pro-independence Movements In Scotland And Catalonia And In The Near Future, We Might See Their Re-emergence Or The Rise Of Other Pro-secession Movements In Other European Regions. The Response Of The Eu Institutions To Secession Within Eu Member States May Well Be Based Mainly On Political Considerations. However, Since The Eu Is A Community Based On The Rule Of Law, It Has Also To Justify Its Position With Normative Arguments Of Principle. 'secession And European Union Law' Provides Such Normative Support, Drawing On A Pluralist Reading Of The Relation Between Eu Law And National Law, To Support The Conclusion That Eu Law Should Respect Domestic Constitutional Orders.
