New legal dynamics of European Union

About this book

"Despite the great growth in scholarship concerning all aspects of the European Union during the past twenty-five years, much of it has remained resolutely insular. This is the case whether the field has been law, politics, economics or political theory. Yet the institutions and substance of the Union cry out for a more inter-disciplinary approach, drawing together insights from all these fields to sharpen and enrich the debates within and between them. It is the aim of this collection of essays to broaden the horizon of scholars, particularly those in law, by exploring from a range of theoretical positions the often unchallenged assumptions of the Union, the single market, the institutions which created and still control it, and the policies which continue to shape its future.". "This volume offers a set of essays on diverse topics whose common link is a shared belief in the value of theory as a tool to explore new dimensions of the subject. Thus readers will find essays on the single market, market citizenship, migrant workers, social policy, labour market flexibility, the GATT and community law, free movement of goods, EC utilities law and policy, telecommunications, legislative review, litigation strategy and the EOC, community tax law, and the European Union and modernism."--BOOK JACKET.
