Full Description
This open access edited collection, the most recent volume in the landmark series, Swedish Studies in European Law, takes an ambitious look at the nature and impact of the European Union.
Drawing on expert analysis, it offers a dual perspective by addressing pertinent questions about the constitutional nature of the Union, as well as the evolution of its Internal Market. This approach has never been more timely as the role of the EU in an increasingly turbulent geo-political environment, is both important and challenging. Lawyers as well as others will find this an invaluable assessment of the EU and its power to bring about change.
