This two-volume set on EU landmark cases discusses the most iconic judgments developed by the European Court of Justice since 1957.

The European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Its 'landmark' decisions have often been controversial; yet no-one could deny that they have been crucial in 'constituting' the Union legal order as we find it today. From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Kadi, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known cases in two volumes. Volume 2 introduces the 'substantive cases' that have shaped the Union's internal market and internal or external policies. Each case is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.
