Resumen de The History of Common Market Law Review 1963–1993: Carving out an Academic Space for Europe
The transnational organisation of an academic discipline of European law has been a key component in the history of European law. A constitutive element is explored in this article, namely, the journal Common Market Law Review (CML Rev.). General existing claims of a strong connection between the Community institutions and academia in the transnation al, acad emic di scipl ine of European law are substantia ted, and it is documente d how CML Rev. legitimised the jurisprudence of the ECJ, differen tiated European law from international law and countered national criticism as the academic lighthouse of the discipline in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, other forces drove the academic field forward, and CML Rev. lost its position as the avant-garde in the discipline, but the journal developed a critical stance and rejected the most radical claims of t he ECJ on the ultimate au th ority as part of a dev elopment towards pr ofessional maturity in the same period.
