European Union Law: An Australian View
Matthew Harvey & Michael Longo
The European Union is Australia’s largest economic partner, but it is not generally well understood by most Australian lawyers, scholars and students. 'European Union Law: An Australian View' gives a broad overview of the essential features of the EU but is then able to concentrate on matters of interest to Australians: comparison of features of the EU and the Australian legal system and legal issues in EU-Australia relations. This work is being designed specifically for Australian readers, and will concentrate on material relevant to them and can omit much of the detail contained in the mainly British-sourced texts presently used in EU Law subjects in Australia. The book leads the reader through the maze of EU law and provides them with the tools to use it. The authors have sought to give a sense of the political and historical factors affecting the development of EU law and some of the underlying theory. The reader is referred to more detailed sources where necessary.
