This course takes student on a normative journey into the history, status quo and future of European integration as realized through the increasingly intricate order of EU law. From its modest (but visionary) beginnings to the Treaty of Lisbon of 2009 and beyond, the EU has developed into a supranational legal order complete with fundamental rights and a constitutional order. We will delve into the institutional structure of the European Union and its main bodies; its relationship to international law and national laws; fundamental rights protection; the four freedoms; the secrets of comitology; the potential of coordinated external action; law enforcement; the single market; and the future of the EU after Brexit. We will use leading cases by the Court of Justice of the EU to guide our discussions and learn to work with primary and secondary sources effectively. |
