EU:
The Four Freedoms

This authoritative text
offers a unique balance of comprehensive, detailed coverage in a concise and
readable style, providing a critical and thorough analysis of the key
principles of the substantive law of the EU.
An introductory chapter
provides valuable context on the governance of the internal market, its
evolution, and the theories behind its key principles. Each of the freedoms is
then dealt with in turn, covering goods, persons, services, and capital, before
moving on to discuss harmonization, the regulation of the internal market, and
its future. Additional useful detail is captured in footnotes, while directed
further reading lists provide support for independent study and research.
This thorough coverage is
fully supported by engaging case studies throughout the book which place the
law in context, helping you to understand the complexities of the subject and
exploring the practical implications of EU law. Diagrams, flowcharts, and
tables offer further detail and illustrate key ideas and processes in an easily
accessible format, while chapter overviews, chapter content lists, and a clear
structure ensure readers remain on track and can find information quickly.
