Competition Law and Policy in the EU and UK provides a focused guide to the main provisions and policies at issue in the UK and EU, including topics such as anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominance, mergers and Brexit. 
The book’s contents are tailored to cover all major topics in competition law teaching, and the authors’ clear and accessible writing style offers an engaging and easy-to-follow overview of the subject for course use. The sixth edition provides a full update for this well-established title and takes recent developments into account, including those in the case law surrounding the concept of ‘object’ agreements under Art 101 TFEU, the concept of abuse under Art 102 TFEU, the treatment of online multi-sided platform markets, and the development of private enforcement. Chapters focus on the substantive laws of the UK and EU and demonstrate how competition law affects business including co-ordinated action, pricing behaviour, takeovers and mergers. Information is presented within a structured framework, complete with discussion of the UK enforcement structures following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The book includes a wealth of pedagogical features, including chapter overviews and summaries, discussion questions and further reading. 
Clear, focused and student-friendly, this book offers a comprehensive resource for students taking competition law courses and will be of interest to postgraduate students and legal professionals looking for an introduction to the topic.

First published 30 years ago, Wyatt and Dashwood's European Union Law was a landmark publication, designed and written for students taking degree level courses in EU law. In the intervening years new editions have appeared at regular intervals, firmly establishing the book as a reliable and authoritative text. Besides introducing generations of students to the intricacies of European law it has also been increasingly relied upon by scholars, practitioners and the courts as a valuable source of reference on this complex and ever-expanding body of law. 
While the book cannot cover every aspect of the subject matter, it nevertheless offers comprehensive coverage of those aspects of EU law most commonly studied at degree level. Part I introduces the history and foundations of the Union's primary law. Part II looks at the Union's institutions, decision-making procedures and competences. It also deals with the Union judiciary, focusing on direct actions before the Union courts and preliminary references from national courts. The constitutional fundamentals of direct effect and supremacy, effective judicial protection before national courts, general principles of Union law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights are dealt with in Part III. Part IV covers the internal market: free movement of goods, Union citizenship, workers, establishment and services, the services directive, mutual recognition of qualifications, corporate establishment and company law harmonisation. Part V deals with competition law: Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, the enforcement of Union competition rules and other related competition law issues. Part VI then includes a brand new chapter concerned with the EU's external relations, together with treatment of the legal effects of international agreements entered into by the EU. 
As with previous editions the aim is to provide an accurate, critical, pragmatic and original account of the subject, at times also offering unique insiders' insights. The book holds to its reputation as being both broad and profound, the ideal foundation for gaining a deep understanding of EU law. 
This edition reflects the law post-Lisbon. It has also been re-structured and re-designed, so as to facilitate ease-of-use. Its original authors, Derrick Wyatt and Alan Dashwood, continue to make a significant contribution. Michael Dougan, Eleanor Spaventa and Barry Rodger complete the team of authors working on this invaluable textbook and reference work.
The 6th edition has already been cited in the Northern Ireland High Court by The Honourable Mr. Justice Bernard McCloskey [2011] NIQB 61.
