In this book Professor John Usher, one of the UK's leading authorities on EC law and institutions, provides a concise yet authoritative introduction to the institutions and legislation of the EC in the context of the EU as a whole. It is essential reading for anybody seeking to understand how the EU as a whole works, although the emphasis is on the legal issues arising in the context of the EC Treaty.

EC Institutions and Legislation thus provides systematic coverage of the EC's political and legal institutions; the exercise of legislative powers; the legislative process and how this works; the scope and nature of Community legislation, and the controls on the activities of EC institutions.

Full account is taken of the 1997 Treaty of Amsterdam, and of the ways in which this builds upon the Maastricht Treaty on European Union, particularly in shifting the boundaries between the Community and non-Community elements of the Union, and in opening the way to greater flexibility.

John Usher is Salvesen Professor of European Institutions at the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Jean Monnet Professor of European Law, and Director of the University's Europa Institute. He has written extensively on EC law and institutions, and has lectured widely throughout the European Union.

John A. Usher is Professor of European Institutions, University of Edinburgh.
