European Union Law (Core Text Series)

Noted for its clear and direct writing style, the seventh edition of EU Law provides a systematic overview of the European institutions and offers thorough, wide ranging coverage of the key substantive law topics, including separate chapters on discrimination, competition and environmental law. Incisive analysis of the governing themes and principles of EU law is consistently delivered in a concise and easy-to-read format, while chapter summaries, critical questions, and further reading suggestions help to guide the reader through the subject and support further research.

This text is also accompanied by a free Online Resource Centre (www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/orc/horspool_humphreys7e/) which features a range of resources including updates to the law, an interactive map and timeline showing the development of the EU, and archive video footage from the European Commission.
