The Substantive Law of the EU. The Four Freedoms (7th Edition)

Abstract:

This text offers a unique balance of comprehensive, detailed coverage in a concise and readable style, providing a critical and thorough analysis of the key principles of the substantive law of the European Union (EU). An introductory chapter provides context on the governance of the internal market, its evolution, and the theories behind its key principles. Each of the freedoms is then dealt with in turn, covering goods, persons, services, and capital, before moving on to discuss harmonization, the regulation of the internal market, and its future. Additional detail is captured in footnotes, while directed further reading lists provide support for independent study and research.

This coverage is supported by case studies throughout the book which place the law in context, helping readers to understand the complexities of the subject and exploring the practical implications of EU law. Diagrams, flowcharts, and tables offer further detail and illustrate key ideas and processes in an easily accessible format, while chapter overviews, chapter content lists, and a clear structure ensure readers remain on track and can find information quickly.
