How can the law of the European Union be most effectively taught in face of the Union’s current upheavals? With this new book a team of specialists provide a comprehensive survey of the law placing it in its social, political and economic context. This innovative approach, coupled with a stimulating and accessible writing style, allows the student to engage fully with the material. It charts the development of the European Union and its laws from its inception to the present day by exploring the subject’s four core sections: EU institutions, legislative processes, administrative processes and substantive law.
Crucially, it incorporates recent key developments including the Constitutional Treaty crisis and the consequences of its failure, and issues arising from an enlarged Europe. With cases and materials integrated throughout the text and recommended reading sections accompanying each chapter, this is essential reading for all European law students at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
