Description

How should EU law be taught in the present day, with the European Union's post Brexit reality, a continental conflict in Ukraine, and a new digital market?

The answer is provided by this important new textbook. With a unified analytical voice, it provides a comprehensive overview of European Union law. It expertly explains the EU's constitutional foundations, institutional framework, and substantive policies, with a welcome simplicity of tone, without sacrificing analytical rigour. Where other books can place too much emphasis on the constitutional elements, it places similar weight on the economic dimensions of the EU, particularly its new digital market. The author's standing as both a scholar and practising lawyer infuses the book with a practical tone, taking the subject out of the abstract and into the everyday, allowing for students' full engagement. Its approach and tone will map particularly well on continental courses, where the next generation of EU lawyers are emerging from. This is a landmark publication in the field of EU law teaching.
