European Union Law - Introduction

This course reveals the chronology of the formation of the EU, tracing its development from the end of the Second World War (when there existed a determination that there should be no repetition of the terrible events of 1939-45, and a conviction that closer co-operation between the countries of Europe held the key to realizing this ideal) right up to the present day. Early options and plans for creating economic integration and political union are discussed, along with the role played by the visionary Jean Monnet. The objectives and implications of all key treaties and agreements are covered, and the political atmosphere in which each was discussed and brought into force provides rich context. Each phase of enlargement is listed in the chronology, with details of individual countries’ referenda and applications.
