Abstract
After a brief description of the historical development of the European Union, this chapter on the law of the EU focuses on the sources of EU law and on the institutions of the Union. The internal market is dealt with, as well as the relation between EU law and the national laws of the Member States. The chapter closes with a discussion of Euroscepticism, and its possible causes and implications.
