This Research Handbook provides a critical examination of the landscape of EU Securities law, including crypto-markets, financial innovation and the Capital Markets Union. It explores the enforcement of EU securities regulation ies and related instruments, such as the EU Takeover Regulation.

Leading specialists discuss the full length and breadth of the subject, from the history and theory of securities regulation, to emerging challenges such as those posed by crypto-assets and crypto-markets. They consider mandatory disclosure, short selling regulation and growth markets, shedding light on the regulatory framework governing the investment and disclosure requirements of Environmental, Social and Governance assets. The Handbook also stands back and considers lawmakers’ attempts to establish coherent regulation that enables financial innovation in an increasingly technology-driven industry, alongside discussions about the value of shareholder activism and the debate between public and private enforcement mechanisms.

The Research Handbook on EU Securities Law is an essential reference for scholars and students of financial law and European law. Its forward-thinking insights will also greatly benefit practising lawyers and industry stakeholders in the field of securities.
