Overview

This new edition sets out an account of EU law that includes not only that law's established features, but captures its development in recent years and the challenges facing the European Union. With dedicated new chapters on climate change, data protection, free movement of capital, and the EU's relations with other European States, topics such as the Union's response to covid-19 and the Ukraine crisis are addressed in detail. As with previous editions, the new edition integrates case law, legislation, academic materials and wider policy contributions in a way that broadens students' understanding of the law and prompts greater critical reflection on the limits, challenges, and possibilities of EU law. It seeks to set out EU law not so much as a series of laws to be learned but as something that stimulates heavy debate about some of the most contentious and significant issues of our time.

'The avant-garde of European legal scholarship examines law in its broader social context. This book is a particularly successful example of that. The latest edition has much to say about the crisis-ridden nature of the Union and about issues such as illiberalism and climate change. This work, poised to achieve the status of a classic, will continue to attract readers from a wide range of disciplines.' Alexander Somek, Professor of Legal Philosophy, University of Vienna 'This is EU Law 2.0: a clear and vivid textbook fit for the ages of change. Unbeholden to disciplinary assumptions, it provides a critical view of the European integration project and its legal machinery. It contextualizes the analysis with empirical and real-world insights and offers helpful distinctions, concepts and categorizations to make sense of EU law in all its interesting complexity.' Sacha Garben, Professor of EU Law, College of Europe
