European Union Internal Market Law

The rules that let goods, people, services and capital cross European borders did not appear from nowhere, and Friedl Weiss and Clemens Kaupa take care to show where they came from. Each chapter sets the law of the EU internal market against its historical and socio-economic background, so the technical detail arrives with a sense of the political and social arguments that shaped it.

Key concepts are anchored in classic and modern cases, presented through excerpts, summaries and discussion, with text boxes, tables, notes on legal interpretation and suggestions for further reading along the way. It is concise and focused enough to stand on its own without a full EU law text. A clear, well-organised companion for law and politics students meeting the internal market for the first time, and for anyone who wants the reasoning behind the rules as well as the rules themselves.
