Trevor Hartley, Professor of Law Emeritus at the London School of Economics and Political Science

"'I find it an excellent book. It is extremely well written and is clear and to the point. The style is pitched at just the right level, and there are frequent highlights of interesting points. In particular, the book embeds the law in a political context, which is essential on this topic'" - Dr Lorand Bartels, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge

"'The book sets out clearly the key issues of EU law in a competent and authoritative style'" - Alexander Türk, Professor of Law, King's College London
