Tommaso Pavone, The Ghostwriters. Lawyers and the Politics behind the Judicial Construction of Europe, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2022

Tommaso Pavone demonstrates the power of questioning the assumptions of long-established literature and challenging common narratives by confronting them with empirical realities. The payoff is a fascinating read, making major contributions to the literature on European legal integration and refining our current knowledge of the role of national judiciaries in this process.
