'This is an EU law textbook with a difference: it is an accessible introductory text aimed at students, but the authors bring their distinctive voices as critical and contextual scholars of EU law and governance to offer a keenly argued monograph, as well as a clear path through key questions of the 'why', not just the 'how', of EU integration. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, Dawson and de Witte enable readers to place the constitutional, institutional and substantive law of the EU into its wider historical, political, social and economic context.'
