Elgar Encyclopedia of European Law

The Elgar Encyclopedia of European Law provides both practical and academic overviews of a vast array of topics relating to European integration through law. It gathers not only scholars, but also civil servants, EU officials, members of the judiciary, and legal practitioners from member states and beyond.

The Encyclopedia is organised via an A–Z listing of concepts, cases, and principles, but also historical documents and people, institutional structure, and policy fields. Each entry sets forth the basics of its topic not as a research piece, but rather as a statement of expertise.

Key Features:

• 400 carefully curated entries, written by practitioners and scholars from across the region
• Accounts of the main European law topics, but also of emerging concepts and fields
• A view of European law with a strong practical focus, yet anchored in solid academic research
• Insights into the importance of the concepts and the principles, their attached challenges and likely evolution
• Further reading suggestions for those who want to dive deeper into the subject
