Reviews

"Robert Schütze is endowed with the gift of precise writing - one of the few authors who is able to explain the law of the European Union in a way that it can easily be understood." - Matthias Ruffert, Humboldt-Universität Zu Berlin

"A reliable and eloquently written source that combines attention to the detail with attention to the broader picture." - Daniel Thym, Universität Konstanz

"With accessible prose, rock-solid structure, and deep engagement with doctrine, Schütze walks the thin line between legal detail and broad narrative of integration with poise. A Cosmic Jackpot for a novice and a seasoned lecturer of European Union law." - Urska Sadl, European University Institute
