As the preferred choice on EU law for both teachers and students, this textbook offers an unrivalled combination of expertise, accessibility and comprehensive coverage. Written in a way which combines clarity with sophisticated analysis, it stimulates students to engage fully with the sometimes complex material, and encourages critical reflection. The new edition reflects the challenges facing the European Union now, with dedicated chapters on Brexit, the migration crisis and the euro area, and with further Brexit materials and analysis integrated wherever relevant. Materials from case law, legislation and academic literature are integrated throughout to present the student with the broadest range of views and deepen understanding of the context of the law. A dedicated site introduces students to the wide ranging debates found in blogs on EU law, EU affairs more generally and Brexit. This is a required text for all interested in European Union law.

Reviews & endorsements

'This textbook does a remarkable job of spelling out the basics of EU law, while at the same time giving the state-of-the-art on recent legal developments and scholarly debates. This edition's reworked section on Eurozone governance and its attention throughout to the impact of Brexit are especially welcome. Chalmers, Davies, and Monti do a great service to instructors and students in the fast-moving field of EU Law.' Francesca Bignami, George Washington University
