Understanding European Union Law Av Karen Davies, Maarten Van Munster, Isabel (The Hague University Of Applied Sciences The Netherlands) Dusterhoeft

Providing short, clear and accessible explanations of the main areas of EU law, Understanding European Union Law is both an ideal introduction for students new to EU law and an essential addition to revision for the more accomplished.This eighth edition has been fully revised and updated with the latest legislative changes and includes an in-depth discussion of ‘Brexit’ and its implications for EU–UK relations. The book provides readers with a clear understanding of the structures and rationale behind EU law, explaining how and why the law has developed as it has. In addition to discussing the core areas of EU law such as its sources, the role and powers of the EU’s Institutions, the enforcement of EU law and the law of the internal market, this edition also includes a new chapter on three ‘non-economic’ areas of EU law: fundamental human rights, equality (non-discrimination) and the environment.This student-friendly text is both broad in scope and highly accessible. It will inspire students towards further study and show that understanding EU law can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. As well as being essential reading for Law students, Understanding European Union Law is also suitable for students on other courses where basic knowledge of EU law is required or useful, such as business studies, political science, international relations or European studies programmes.
