The 12th edition provides a wealth of carefully selected case law alongside engaging extracts and materials to help explain the complexities of EU law in a contextualized and thought-provoking manner. Insightful author notes and questions accompany each extract, providing valuable additional detail to challenge understanding and encourage students to engage critically with the material.

* an interactive map of Europe
* a timeline of the EU

Reviews

  • Review from previous edition: "This is one of those publications you come to rely on as it delivers consistently. It is unapologetically erudite without being too unwieldy. The analysis and commentary in Weatherill's work is crisp, incisive and original."

    --Chrisoulla Pawlowska, Senior Lecturer in European Law, University of Greenwich

  • "Weatherill covers the law and non-legal elements comprehensively; he is always thought-provoking and strives to explain and not over complicate."

    --Professor Urfan Khaliq, Professor of Public International and European Laws, Cardiff University
