Description

This module follows up on the Law of the European Union 1 module taught in
the first semester and is designed to explore more fully the substantive (as
opposed to the constitutional or institutional) law of the EU. The focus of
the module will be on three areas of legislation: Internal market law, with
specific focus on the fundamental freedoms, Competition law (with a
particular emphasis on measures for combating restrictive practices and the
abuse of a dominant position) and European social law (with particular
emphasis equality and non-discrimination in the labour market). By the end
of this module, students should be able to identify the relationships
between the economic and the social aspects of EU law, understand the key
mechanisms of market regulation at the level of the Union, develop competent
and critical arguments regarding the scope, the success and the limits of
substantive EU law and demonstrate the ability to think independently about
the nature, the 'ethos' and the legitimacy of the European project.
