The European Union has undergone major changes in the last decade, including Treaty reform, and a significant expansion of activity in foreign and security policy, and justice and home affairs. In the first edition of this influential textbook, a team of leading lawyers and political scientists reflected upon the important developments in their chosen area over the time since the EC was formed. This new edition continues this analysis ten years on. Taking into account the social and political background, and without losing sight of the changes that came before, in each chapter the contributors analyze the principle themes and assess the legal and political forces that have shaped its development. Each author addresses a specific topic, event, or theme, from the European Court of Justice to Treaty reform; the enlargement of the EU to administrative law; the effect of EU law on culture to climate change. Together the chapters tell the story of the rapid development of EU law - its past, present, and future.

...the contents of those chapters whose subject-matter and author(s) have remained from the first edition have undergone substantial change. All pieces are very readable, up to date and copiously referenced. * Stefan Enchelmaier, European Law Review *This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of EU law over the past decade, in order to give the reader a clearer understanding of the broader picture of EU legal development. * Jane Ferrier, The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *Review from previous edition This is a serious, comprehensive exploration of the understanding of EU law as it has developed. * Edward Kirke, Liverpool John Moores University *This volume, like many books of its kind, poses more questions than it has answers for, but the answers it suggests are crucial, seminal and riveting to anyone interested in why a nation or a corporate body has a constitution. ... the editors have done a masterly job in weaving together crucial research and opinion on such issues as comitology, delegated agencies, tertiary structures in general and the enumeration and control of them. The heavy intellectualism of this book should not obscure the luminosity of its arguments, which, after all, remain easy to understand. * Michael L Nash, Contemporary Review, December 1999 Page 322 *...an excellent collection of strong and thought-provoking contributions...an extremely accessible account of the story of EU law. * T.K. Hervey, University of Nottingham, European Public Law *
