| Summary | This course first considers the key principles of EU free movement law, focussing on concepts such as discrimination, market access and proportionality. Examples will be drawn from across the different Treaty freedoms in order to understand both commonalities and differences within the EU free movement framework. The course will then focus in more detail on the free movement of persons and EU citizenship law, noting the rapid evolution of this area of law in recent years and the political controversies surrounding these issues at present. |
