This is the first in a series of videos we will upload before the launch of the Call for Papers in a few weeks. Please stay tuned!

I highly recommend these books. Together, they greatly enhance our understanding of the institutional choices made in EU lawmaking and challenge some widely held beliefs about EU law. In my essay, I explain why.

In this essay, I review recent books by JanZglinski, VVelyvyte, and Ní Chaoimh, all three of which examine the institutional choices involved in the making of the internal market:
