Aims

The course aims at providing students with a better understanding of their legal environment. It offers an analysis of the legal issue common to all European policies, i.e. the harmonization of law. As such, it is a support to the understanding of other specific courses focusing specific aspects of EU substantive law.

Main themes

The course focuses on the harmonisation of laws within the EU, as well as on the core impacts of the various EU policies. It analyses the reasons and conditions of the harmonization in each sector. It questions harmonisation's usefulness, its feasibility, and its results. The concept of regulatory competition provides a red line of the reasoning.
