'Insightful and incisive, accessible yet profound, this book allows the reader not just to understand what the EU is, but to form an opinion on what it can and should be for. This contextual, critical approach is empowering, and befitting the dynamic project of European integration within which law occupies a privileged, and peculiar, position - as expertly explained by the authors.'
