The new edition of this major work is a must-buy for all students studying EU employment law. It offers comprehensive coverage of an increasingly complex subject, tackling both case law and legislation, and provides detailed analysis of the EU's Directives and their impact on employment law.
"This book focuses on the substantive law of the EU with regard to the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital. An introductory chapter outlines the background to EU law in this sphere: the role of free trade theory, the development of economic integration up to the present day, and the fundamental principles underpinning this development. The following sections then provide a detailed examination of the law relating to freedom of movement in each of the major categories - goods, persons and services, and capital - and a concluding section deals with the legal issues raised by the ongoing process of harmonization within the single market." Throughout, the book makes judicious use of case studies to illustrate and develop the central issues, and includes diagrams and flowcharts to clarify the more complex areas of this sphere of EU law. Concise and accessible, this new textbook provides an ideal survey for all students covering the substantive law of the EU.
Edited by Catherine Barnard and Steve Peers, this new EU law textbook draws together a range of perspectives from experienced academics, teachers and practitioners from a number of jurisdictions to provide a comprehensive introduction to EU law.
