Product Description
The revised third edition of this text provides an account of the constitutional principles and legal institutions of the European Union. The accessible style makes the book suitable not only for first year undergraduates but also for A level students and non-law undergraduates. This edition textbook has been substantially rewritten to take into account changes in EU law resulting from the Treaty of Amsterdam. It covers the 2000 Intergovernmental Conference, the Convention drafting a Fundamental Rights Charter for the EU, the resignation of the Commission in March 1999 and the reform programme for the Commission. Two new chapters deal with values and principles in the EU consitutional framework, and at the end of most chapters can be found lists of relevant websites for further reading.

Editorial Reviews
Review
This is...one of the best books of its kind on the market. It is student friendly in the best sense of the term. While in no way patronising or talking-down to its readers, it steers them thoroughly and in a helpfully structured way through the subject and anticipates the difficulties often encountered by those studying it for the first time. The achievement of these objectives is assisted by placing the law in its wider historical, political and economic contexts. Problems and complexities are treated clearly and firmly. The book systematically encourages student-centred learning by posing questions and review problems and providing suggestions for further reading and lists of key websites as well as a full general bibliography.' - Professor John Bridge, Journal of European Information Association
