EU law is a subject of ever growing significance. Gaining a solid grasp of the EU's
institutions, procedures and substantive law is vital for anyone serious about completing
their legal education. Nigel Foster provides an engaging yet thought-provoking
introduction to EU law, ideal for undergraduate students.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part charts the development of EU law and
explains how its institutions and procedures combine together to form a legal framework
incorporating 27 Member States and close to 500 million people. Insightful author
commentary places the law in context and explains why the EU has developed in the way it
has. The second part of the book looks at the most important areas of substantive law
including the free movement of goods, the free movement of persons, and social policy.
