Editorial Reviews

"This collection, edited by Catharine Barnard and Joanne Scott, brings together a strong team of European lawyers seeking to unpack some of the core legal concepts underpinning the Single European Market.

All in all, this edited collection is of a generally high calibre and deserves to be widely read. . . . this collection contributes to many of the current debates on the single European market and brings to the fore the imprecision that still surrounds many of its core concepts." --Yearbook of European Law

From the Publisher

Presented by Barnard (law, Trinity College, Cambridge U., UK) and Scott (European law, Clare College, Cambridge U., UK), 14 essays thematically explore the evolution of European Union case law in relation to the "four freedoms" (i.e. the free movement of persons, services, capital, and goods). The authors focus on the foundational concepts of case law, discussing themes such as discrimination, mutual recognition, market access, pre-emption and harmonization, enforcement, mandatory requirements, flexibility, subsidiarity, and proportionality.
