欧洲一体化进程鼓励了欧盟成员国政治的实质性司法化。对“法官治政府”的批评者认为，这种司法化破坏了民主，因为它用未经选举、不负责任的法官的决定取代了民选官员的决定。本文认为，总的来说，与欧洲一体化有关的司法化加强了整个欧洲的民主。司法化鼓励成员国政府和欧盟本身在决策中提高透明度和问责制，并增加了诉诸司法的机会。然而，通过强调对个人权利的保护，司法化推动成员国进一步从共和民主模式转向自由民主模式。
The process of European integration has encouraged a substantial judicialisation of politics across EU member states. Critics of ‘government by judges’ suggest that this judicialisation undermines democracy by substituting the decisions of unelected, unaccountable judges for those of elected officials. This article argues that on balance the judicialisation related to European integration has strengthened democracy across Europe. Judicialisation has encouraged greater transparency and accountability in policy-making by member state governments and by the EU itself and has enhanced opportunities for access to justice. However, by emphasising the protection of individual rights, judicialisation has pushed member states further from republican to liberal models of democracy.
