Summary:

Siegel (political science, US Naval Postgraduate School) examines five cases of noncompliance with European Union law in order to analyze compliance behavior by states as the result of the interaction of different levels of politics (i.e., tension between the national security concerns of the consequences of not following the judgment of the European Court of Justice versus the domestic backlash risked by allowing domestic interest groups to be harmed). The cases examined involved the free movement of goods in the EU in traditional national industries in Germany and France; German and British subsidies to domestic industries, and noncompliance with the European Monetary Union.
