Beschreibung:
This book explores how the right to free movement of goods, persons, services and capital in the European Union legal order affects the nation-states and the peoples of Europe. The four freedoms, as they are known, are vital for the construction and protection of the European market without internal frontiers. As such the four freedoms have been recognized as elements of a European constitutional order, which may challenge the autonomy of national constitutions and parliaments.
