This collection celebrates the career of Professor Alan Dashwood, a
leading member of the generation of British academics who
organised, explained and analysed what we now call European Union
law for the benefit of lawyers trained in the common law tradition.
It takes as its starting point Professor Dashwood's vivid
description of the European Union as a 'constitutional order of
states'. He intended that phrase to capture the unique character of
the Union. On the one hand, it is a supranational order
characterised by its own distinctive institutional dynamics and an
unprecedented level of cohesion among, and penetration into, the
national legal systems. On the other hand, it remains an
organisation of derived powers, the Member States retaining their
character as sovereign entities under international law. This theme
permeates both the constitutional and the substantive law of the
Union. Contributors to the collection include members of the
judiciary and distinguished practitioners, officials and academics.
They consider the foundations, strengths, implications and
shortcomings of this conceptual framework in various fields of EU
law and policy. The collection is an essential purchase for anyone
interested in the constitutional framework of the contemporary
European Union.
The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies provides a forum
for the scrutiny of significant issues in European Union Law, the
Law of the Council of Europe, and Comparative Law with a 'European'
dimension, particularly those issues which have come to the fore
during the year preceding publication. The chapters presented are
all at the cutting edge of the fields which they address, and
reflect the views of recognised experts drawn from the University
world, legal practice, and the civil services of both the EU and
its Member States. Inclusion of the comparative dimension brings a
fresh perspective to the study of European law, and highlights the
effects of globalisation of the law more generally, and the
resulting cross fertilisation of norms and ideas that has occurred
among previously sovereign and separate legal orders. The Cambridge
Yearbook of European Legal Studies is an invaluable resource for
those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast
moving world of European integration. INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS Please

All over the world a different kind of labour law is in the process
of formation; in Gramsci's phrase, this is an interregnum when the
old is dying and the new is struggling to be born. This book, to
which an internationally distinguished group of scholars has
contributed, examines the future of labour law from a wide variety
of perspectives. Issues covered include the ideology of New Labour
law; the employment relationship; the public/private divide;
termination of employment; equality law; corporate governance;
collective bargaining; workers' participation; strikes;
international labour standards; the role of EU law; the EU Charter
of Fundamental Rights; labour law and development in Southern
Africa; and the impact of globalisation. The essays are written in
honour of the outstanding labour lawyer Professor Sir Bob Hepple
QC, who has contributed to so many areas of this dynamic field.
A commonly expressed view is that the citizens and the Member
States are destined to be overcome by the European Union. There is
a sense that the Union of today is not what was intended to be
created or acceded to by the Member States or its citizens. The
Outer Limits of European Union Law brings together a diverse group
of legal scholars to consider aspects of EU substantive,
constitutional and procedural law in a manner highlighting the many
senses in which the European Union is or can be limited and so
demonstrating that the fear of being overcome is largely a false
fear. By exploring the mechanisms and devices used to limit the
European Union, the contributors also reveal not only the strengths
of the various limits, but also and more crucially the weakness of
the limits , thereby demonstrating that the prospect of being
overcome may be a genuine risk to be guarded against. By
considering general themes (eg legitimacy) and core subject areas
(eg policing, free movement of goods, remedies) the book reveals
the various techniques used by the Court of Justice, Community
institutions and Member States to define and modify the outer
limits of the European Union and European Union Law.
Edited by Catherine Barnard and Steve Peers, European Union Law
draws together a range of perspectives from experienced academics,
teachers and practitioners to provide a comprehensive introduction.
Each chapter has been written and updated by an expert in the field
to provide students with access to a broad range of ideas while
offering a solid foundation in the institutional and substantive
law of the EU. Written by experts, designed for students; every
chapter ensures a balance of accessible explanation and critical
detail. Case studies are included throughout the book to enable
students to understand the context and implications of EU law, as
well as helping to familiarize them with some of the most
significant case law in the area. Quotations and examples from key
legislation and academic sources are also included to help develop
a well-rounded understanding, while further reading suggestions for
each chapter act as a springboard for further study and assessment
preparation. This text provides a fresh and modern guide to EU law
and is an ideal entry-point for students new to the subject as well
as those looking to develop their understanding. Digital formats

Why is the 1979 the Court of Justice judgment in Cassis de Dijon so
famous and so significant in the evolution of EU trade law?. As
this landmark judgment approaches middle age, this book revisits
this decision with the benefit of hindsight: why did the Court of
Justice decide Cassis de Dijon as it did? How has the decision been
developed by the EU? And, looking forward, how has the decision
been used to develop international trade? This book brings together
some of the leading writers in the field of EU trade law,
constitutional law and European history for a fresh examination of
this ground-breaking judgment, looking at it from the perspective
of its past (who, what and why); its present (is it making a
difference?); and its future (how does it fit in international
trade agreements).
Today, many people agree that the EU lacks solidarity and needs a
social dimension. This debate is not new, but until now the notion
of a 'social Europe' remained vague and elusive. To make progress,
we need a coherent conception of the reasons behind, and the agenda
for, not a 'social Europe', but a new idea: a European Social
Union. We must motivate, define, and demarcate an appropriate
notion of European solidarity. We must also understand the legal
and political obstacles, and how these can be tacked. In short, we
need unequivocal answers to questions of why, what, and how: on
that basis, we can define a clear-cut normative and institutional
concept. That is the remit of this book: it provides an in-depth
interdisciplinary examination of the rationale and the feasibility
of a European Social Union. Outstanding scholars and top-level
practitioners reflect on obstacles and solutions, from an economic,
social, philosophical, legal, and political perspective.

"'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail ...
[it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument.
The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your
appetite to find out how and why." - Alex Wade, The Times (of the
previous edition) Law is one of the few subjects that the school
leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real
understanding of. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting
out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student
should choose to study law. This new edition is updated to reflect
the reality of studying law today, highlighting changes due to
Brexit and reforms to constitutional law. The book covers the
compulsory subjects every law student has to study: contract,
criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up to date. With
a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from each of
these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The
writing style is accessible and has the audience - novices to law -
firmly in mind. What About Law? shows how the study of law can be
fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces
prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical
thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers,
this book should be read by every student about to embark on the
study of law.

With the rejection of the Constitutional Treaty in French and Dutch
referenda, the European Union received a severe blow that
precipitated a period of reflection and soul searching. How far
should the fundamental principles that shape the Union be
re-assessed in the light of the Constitutional debate? Can the
Constitutional Treaty be rescued from failure? If not, what other
options for constitutional reform are available? Does the Treaty's
rejection signal the failure of the Union's goal of democratic
governance?
The essays in this volume examine the impact of the debate
surrounding the future of the European Constitution on the
development of core areas of EU law and policy. Opening with a
discussion of the shifting conceptions of European democracy, the
volume proceeds to look at key areas of substantive law against the
backdrop of the Constitutional Treaty, from Foreign Relations to
Fundamental Rights, Social Policy to Justice and Home Affairs. The
book concludes with an examination of potential solutions to the
constitutional crisis, and models for future constitutional reform.

This edited collection explores the legal foundations of the single
market project in Europe, and examines the legal concepts and
constructs which underpin its operation. While an apparently
well-trodden area of EU law, such is the rapid evolution of the
European Court's case law that confusion persists as to the meaning
of core concepts. The approach adopted is a thematic one, with each
theme being explored in the context of the different freedoms. The
themes covered include discrimination, horizontality, mutual
recognition, market access, pre-emption and harmonization,
enforcement, mandatory requirements, flexibility, subsidiarity and
proportionality. Separate chapters explore the link between
competition law and the single market, the rapidly evolving case
law on capital, and the external dimension of the single market.
Contributors also address the WTO dimension, and its important
implications for the single market project in Europe.
This timely book examines the legal and regulatory implications of
Brexit for financial services. The UK's withdrawal from the EU is
likely to have significant market, political, and policy
consequences for the UK financial system, for the single market and
the euro area, and for the international financial system. As the
UK disentangles its financial system from the EU, law will matter
to a profound extent. Treaties, legislation, and regulation, at UK,
EU, and international levels, and the many dynamics and interests
which drive them, will frame and shape the ultimate settlement
between the UK and the EU. Law will also shape how the EU financial
system develops post-Brexit and how the international financial
system responds. Written by leading authorities in the field, this
book addresses and contextualises the legal, regulatory, and policy
issues across five dimensions, which correspond to the major legal
spheres engaged: financial regulation implications and market
access consequences for the UK financial system; labour law and
free movement consequences for the UK financial system; the
implications internally for EU financial governance and the euro
area; the implications and relevance of the EEA/EFTA financial
services market; and the trade law and World Trade Organization law
implications.
