Introduction to the Legal System of the European Union

Omtale

European Countries are struggling to unite while still protecting their own cultures and independence. A new legal structure is thus emerging, with a complicated web of international treaties and national legislation leading to jurisdictional questions at every level of the hierarchy. Professor Phillip Raworth, a noted expert on European Union law, provides readers with a concise, orderly examination of the structure and development of the European Union's legal system since 1945. Raworth draws a clear picture of the complexities of its organization and explains in detail the current structure of its governmental powers and external relations.
