European Union Law 4th ed

EU Law has firmly established itself as one of the leading textbooks on the subject post-Lisbon Treaty. The book combines comprehensive yet accessible coverage with in-depth analysis of the law and student-friendly pedagogy. The author gives thorough, authoritative, and up-to-the-minute treatment to the institutional, constitutional and substantive elements of EU Law.

The book is unique in that it successfully combines depth of coverage with an excellent selection of supporting case law, making this challenging subject accessible and easy to follow. Case summaries and judgments are highlighted in colour-tinted boxes for ease of reference, and are accompanied by key facts and analysis, often in the light of subsequent developments.

The student-friendly approach is enhanced by market-driven pedagogical features, including:

• Concise outlines, at the beginning of each chapter describing its content;
• An aide-mémoire, often presented in diagrammatic form, at the end of each chapter to highlight and reinforce key points;
• End of chapter recommended reading lists to facilitate further research;
• End of chapter problem and essay questions testing the students’ ability to apply what they have learnt; and,
• A map identifying EU Member States, and their accession dates; acceding States; candidate States; and, potential candidate States.

The book’s companion website offers a range of teaching and learning resources including an interactive timeline of the EU, useful web links, self-test questions and much more.

This book is essential reading for those studying EU law on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses and will be of interest to students of political science, social science and business studies.
