Oxford Principles of European Union Law: Volume II – The Internal Market

with Takis Tridimas.
Oxford University Press, 2026

Summary: The creation of a common market has been at the heart of the European integration process since the establishment of the European Economic Community in 1957; and it remains central to the European Union today. Building on the first volume of the Oxford Principles of European Law, this treatise provides a systematic analysis of the legal principles governing the establishment and functioning of the EU internal market. Spanning thirty-six chapters, Volume II: The Internal Market thus brings together distinguished academics and practitioners to analyse all aspects of the EU internal market. Part I explores the history and nature of the EU internal market, focusing on international, historical, comparative, and constitutional perspectives. Part II and Part III examine the free movement of goods, both as regards the general rules setting the tone for EU market integration at large as well as its special rules on important policy areas, such as the Common Agricultural Policy. Part IV explores the free movement of persons and Part V discusses the freedom of services and the free movement of capital. Part VI looks at positive integration through Union harmonization and private standard setting. Finally, Part VII deals with the 'external' aspects of the EU internal market and discusses the extent to which the Union has widened its market to non-Member States. Completely up to date with the most recent case law, this book will be invaluable to academics and practitioners in EU and international economic law.

Comparative International Law

by Schütze & Siems (eds).
Hart, 2026

Summary: The modern field of comparative international law emerged in the last century, but it still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations. This ambitious collection fills that gap. It examines the key concepts of comparative international law, including its historical and critical perspectives. Contributors from a wide geographical range present their diverse and thought-provoking views on international and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge book on an undervalued yet topical field of research.

Landmark Cases in European Union Law – Volume 1: Constitutional Cases

by Craig & Schütze.
Hart, 2025

Summary: From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Consten and Grundig, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known EU law cases in two volumes. These volumes show how the European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Many EU 'landmark' cases have been controversial, yet no-one can deny that they have been essential in defining the Union legal order as we find it today. Volume 1 explores the 'constitutional' cases that have come to define the legal nature and competences of the Union, its judicial architecture as well as its fundamental rights system. Each of the twenty cases within this volume is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter also presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.

by Craig & Schütze.
Hart, 2025

Summary: From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Consten and Grundig, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known EU law cases in two volumes. These volumes show how the European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Many EU 'landmark' cases have been controversial, yet no-one can deny that they have been essential in defining the Union legal order as we find it today. Volume 2 explores the 'substantive' cases that have shaped the Union's internal market, its competition law as well as its internal and external policies. Each of the twenty cases within this volume is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter also presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.

EU Fiscal Federalism: Past, Present and Future

by Hinarejos & Schütze.
Oxford University Press, 2023

Summary: Fiscal federalism refers to the division of fiscal powers — powers to tax and spend — between different levels of government. The European Union (EU) is often seen as a legislative giant on clay feet, and one of the principal reasons for this feebleness is the lack of a significant fiscal capacity at the Union level.EU Fiscal Federalism: Past, Present, Future explores ten aspects of the EU's fiscal constitution relating both to the fiscal limits it imposes on Member States and the evolution of its own fiscal policy. Bringing together an international and distinguished group of scholars, this volume analyses the different legal dimensions of fiscal federalism within the EU, from the various aspects of the single market (free movement, banking union, state aid, tax harmonization) to the EU's budget and Economic and Monetary Union. The essays provide a fascinating overview of the topic as well as a detailed analysis of where EU fiscal federalism stands today and how it might develop in the future. Sweeping and thorough, EU Fiscal Federalism will appeal to academics and students of European Union law as well as to European policymakers.

The Cambridge Companion to Comparative Constitutional Law

by Masterman & Schütze.
Cambridge University Press, 2019

Summary: What is the purpose of comparative constitutional law? Comparing constitutions allows us to consider the similarities and differences in forms of government, and the normative philosophies behind constitutional choices. Constitutional comparisons offer 'hermeneutic' help: they enable us to see 'our' own constitution with different eyes and to locate its structural and normative choices by references to alternatives evident in other constitutional orders. This Cambridge Companion presents readers with a succinct yet wide-ranging companion to a modern comparative constitutional law course, offering a wide-ranging yet concise introduction to the subject. Its twenty-two chapters are arranged into five thematic parts: starting with an exploration of the 'theoretical foundations' (Part I) and some important 'historical experiences' (Part II), it moves on to a discussion of the core 'constitutional principles' (Part III) and 'state institutions' (Part IV); finally it analyses forms of 'transnational' constitutionalism (Part V) that have emerged in our 'global' times.

Globalization and Governance: International Problems, European Solutions

by Schütze.
Cambridge University Press, 2018

Summary: While it might have been viable for states to isolate themselves from international politics in the nineteenth century, the intensity of economic and social globalisation in the twenty-first century has made this impossible. The contemporary world is an international world - a world of collective security systems and collective trade agreements. What does this mean for the sovereign state and 'its' international legal order? Two alternative approaches to the problem of 'governance' in the era of globalisation have developed in the twentieth century: universal internationalism and regional supranationalism. The first approaches collective action problems from the perspective of the 'sovereign equality' of all States. A second approach to transnational 'governance' has tried to re-build majoritarian governmental structures at the regional scale. This collection of essays wishes to analyse - and contrast - the two types of normative and decisional answers that have emerged as responses to the 'international' problems within our globalised world.

The United Kingdom and the Federal Idea

by Schütze & Tierney.
Hart Publishing, 2018

Summary: How should political power be divided within and among national peoples? Is the nineteenth-century theory of the sovereign and unitary State still fit for purpose in the twenty-first century? If not, can federalism provide a viable alternative model? This collection looks at federalism from the perspective of constitutional law. Taking the United Kingdom as a case study, Part One tracks the historical evolution of the 'Union' and explores the various expressions of federalism that emerged between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Part Two then assesses the experience of sovereignty-sharing with other nations in the context of international cooperation. Drawing on the expertise of the foremost commentators in their field, The United Kingdom and the Federal Idea provides a timely and reflective evaluation of how constitutional authority is being re-ordered within and beyond the United Kingdom.

Oxford Principles of European Union Law – Volume 1: The European Union Legal Order

by Schütze & Tridimas.
Oxford University Press, 2018

Summary: Since the 1957 Rome Treaty, the European Union has changed dramatically - in terms of its composition, scope and depth. Originally established by six Western European States, the EU today has 28 Members and covers almost the entire European continent; and while initially confined to establishing a "common market", the EU has come to influence all areas of political, economic and social life. In parallel with this enormous geographic and thematic expansion, the constitutional and legislative principles underpinning the European Union have constantly evolved. This three-volume study aims to provide an authoritative academic treatment of European Union law. Written by leading scholars and practitioners, each chapter offers a comprehensive and critical assessment of the state of the law. Doctrinal in presentation, each volume nonetheless tries to present a broader historical and comparative perspective. Volume I provides an analysis of the constitutional principles governing the European Union. It covers the history of the EU, the constitutional foundations, the institutional framework, legislative and executive governance, judicial protection, and external relations. Volume II explores the structure of the internal market, while Volume III finally analyses the internal and external substantive policies of the EU.
