Synopsis

Nigel Foster provides an accessible and straightforward introduction to EU law which is ideal for use on undergraduate and GDL courses, particularly those taught over one semester. This new text provides a clear exposition of the policy and law-making procedures of the EU, as well as the key areas of substantive law. The book is divided into two parts. The first part of the book covers how the EU functions: its history, constitutions, and institutions. The second part of the book provides clear explanations of the key areas of substantive law, focussing on the free movement of goods, the free movement of persons, social policy, and competition law. To gain a full understanding of EU law, it is necessary to understand the numerous perspectives that arise from different nations, different cultural understandings, different histories, and different social and economic backgrounds and systems. These perspectives are introduced fully in the opening chapter of the book, which provides a concise overview of the history of the EU and its constitutional basis.
