The aim of the course is to provide a general introduction to the law of the European Internal Market, with a special focus on recent challenges concerning the European economic integration. Beyond exploring and discussing the basic concepts of the topic (common market, internal market, single market etc.), as well as the nature and functioning of the "four freedoms", a particular emphasis will be laid on questions and problems raised by the tension between the claim for allowing free trade on the one hand, while protecting non-trade concerns on the other, such as human health, environmental protection and even the protection of human rights which potentially hinder the realisation of the Single European Market. This course will also look into areas like the impact of the financial and economic crises, as well as the European regulatory framework for state aid and public services.
