Emerging trends and developments in European law.
This series is dedicated to publishing edited collections on a wide range of topics within European law, focussing particularly on analyses of emerging trends and new developments which are not covered in the standard textbooks. The essays are carefully grouped around selected themes which, while frequently at the cutting edge of scholarship, are nonetheless intended to be of widespread interest to EU scholars and practitioners.

The books have a variety of origins; some arise from workshops and conferences, while others spring from longer term research initiatives. In all cases the essays selected for publication have not been published elsewhere, and all are subject to peer review and editing.
