The second volume focuses on challenges in the field of the internal market and external relations, looking at diverse areas of European law, including free movement, competition law and merger control, public procurement, consumer law, enlargement, WTO, third country nationals, and sex equality. Authors include: Tony Arnull, George Bermann, Marise Cremona, Paul Craig, Eileen Denza, Piet Eeckhout, Koen Lenaerts, Steve Peers, Wulf-Henning Roth, Francis Snyder, Erika Szyszczak, Takis Tridimas and Stephen Weatherill.
