Özet:

This thesis analyses the role of the European Court of Justice in the process of European integration. The role of the Court of Justice as an important supranational institution is discussed by taking into account various decisions of the Court that established the fundamental principles of the European Union Law. The thesis also analyses the contribution of the Court from the perspective of its interactions with the other actors within the EU. In this framework, the thesis will seek to answer such questions as: What are the contributions of the European Court in the development of the EU legal system? How did the Court play such an important role in the process of European integration? Finally, how did the interactions of the European Court with the other actors affect the process of European integration?
