European Union Law - Tapa blanda

Review from previous edition An EU law book which I have actually enjoyed reading! Very concise, using modern examples to illustrate fact and analysis. An interesting and thought provoking approach. (Kate Taylor, LLB Student, University of Cardiff)

The chapters are written by many world-class professors yet are very appropriate for students, easy to understand and an enjoyable read. (Meraj Sakaria, LLB Student, Swansea University)

This is a particularly strong textbook which introduces the reader comfortably into the subject by giving the historical and political context. What often lets students down is their understanding of cases, yet by including in-depth case analyses the authors deepen this understanding. (Ronan Buist, LLB Student, Dundee University)

Unique in its breadth of coverage, this is one of the most up to date, authoritative, and comprehensive EU law textbooks. (Francesco de Cecco, Lecturer in Law, Newcastle University)

The engaging style and manner of the authors makes this accessible to all students, the pitch is perfect. Clearly the authors have a passion, which is infectious. (Dewi Williams, Senior Lecturer, Staffordshire University)

The book offers the necessary level of detail, but also a well-handled overall thematic narrative that would help a student see the woods as well as the trees. (Stephen Weatherill, Fellow and Professor of European Law, Somerville College, University of Oxford)

Edited by Catherine Barnard and Steve Peers, European Union Law draws together a range of perspectives from experienced academics, teachers and practitioners to provide a comprehensive introduction to EU law. Each chapter has been written and updated by an expert in the field to provide students with access to a broad range of ideas while offering a solid foundation in the institutional and substantive law of the EU.

Written by experts, designed for students; every chapter ensures a balance of accessible explanation and critical detail. Case studies are included throughout the book to enable students to understand the context and implications of EU law, as well as helping to familiarize them with some of the most significant caselaw in the area. Quotations and examples from key EU legislation and academic sources are also included to help develop an understanding of EU law, while further reading suggestions for each chapter act as a springboard for further study and assessment preparation.

This text provides a fresh and modern guide to EU law and is an ideal entry-point for students new to the subject as well as those looking to develop their understanding of EU law.
