Regulation in the EU

Regulation in the EU provides analyses of some of the core legal aspects of EU regulation.

Its focus is on the use of new instruments and methods as alternatives or supplements to traditional forms of legislation, such as directives and regulations. It also provides an analysis of the use of alternative procedures for creating legislation in the EU and the use of impact assessment in the adoption of EU regulation. The book includes an analysis of the reform of legal instruments proposed in the Constitutional Treaty.

This book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners seeking to understand the core legal aspects of EU regulation and indications of where EU regulation is moving in the future.

The book is the result of cooperation between legal experts from the Aarhus School of Business, the University of Aarhus, the Royal Agricultural University, the University of Southern Denmark and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The book is edited by Birgitte Egelund Olsen and Karsten Engsig Sørensen who are both professors at the Aarhus School of Business.
