European Union Law Volume One: Law and EU Government

by Damian Chalmers

With introductions to each chapter, tables of cases, treaties, and legislation, and many extracts from books and journals, volume one examines the forces, tensions, and context which make European Union law an exciting field to study. Chapters cover the origins and structure of the Treaty on European Union; the institutions of the European Union; law-making by the European Community; the competences of the Union; constitutionalism and the European communities; member states and the Court of Justice; enforcement of EC law through national courts; relations between the court of justice and national courts; conditions of legality; and judicial control of the EC institutions.
