Summary | The aims and objectives of the course are to impart to students an understanding of the process and principals driving the economic integration of the European Union and to explore the legal course that this has taken. This is essentially the 'public law' of market integration, that is, the suppression and regulation of state measures necessary for market integration. The course will therefore consider, substantially, the concepts and legal principles (e.g. discrimination, market access, proportionality) underpinning the four freedoms that comprise the common/internal market (and on the way, touching upon some ancillary policies). The role of the internal market in the wider and continuing European integration project will be critically assessed throughout. |
