Oxford Principles of European Union Law: Volume 1: The European Union Legal Order
 |
| Anteprima |
Since
the 1957 Rome Treaty, the European Union has changed dramatically - in
terms of its composition, scope and depth. Originally established by six
Western European States, the EU today has 28 Members and covers almost
the entire European continent; and while initially confined to
establishing a "common market", the EU has come to influence all areas
of political, economic and social life. In parallel with this enormous
geographic and thematic expansion, the constitutional and legislative
principles underpinning the European Union have constantly evolved. This
three-volume study aims to provide an authoritative academic treatment
of European Union law. Written by leading scholars and practitioners,
each chapter offers a comprehensive and critical assessment of the state
of the law. Doctrinal in presentation, each volume nonetheless tries to
present a broader historical and comparative perspective. Volume I
provides an analysis of the constitutional principles governing the
European Union. It covers the history of the EU, the constitutional
foundations, the institutional framework, legislative and executive
governance, judicial protection, and external relations. Volume II
explores the structure of the internal market, while Volume III finally
analyses the internal and external substantive policies of the EU.
