Reviews
'The new textbook on EU law by Elise Muir combines many qualities. It is both concise and comprehensive. It is very clearly written, with the help of useful tables and graphs. It presents the core of the operational system of the European Union, describing how it developed, how the European institutions work, and how European legal rules are made and enforced. The book deserves to be widely read, especially by students and practitioners first approaching EU law.' Bruno De Witte, Professor of EU law, Maastricht University and European University Institute 'This is an excellent introduction to EU law. It manages to be both concise and critical offering a clear, intelligent and balanced analysis of the foundations of the Union legal order.' Takis Tridimas, Professor of European Law, King's College London
