The Constitutional Order: Investigate the institutional mechanics of the European Commission, Parliament, Council, and the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). Focus will be placed on foundational legal doctrines such as supremacy, direct effect, and state liability. The Judicial Architecture: Analyze the relationship between the EU and national courts, studying the preliminary reference procedure, judicial reviews, and enforcement mechanisms against non-compliant Member States. The Substantive Law of the Single Market: Evaluate the critical mechanics of economic integration through the "Four Freedoms": the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital, alongside foundational European competition law. Social Dimensions & Evolving Challenges: Assess the legal boundaries of EU citizenship, fundamental human rights protections, and environmental and digital policy, alongside structural shifts such as the aftermath of Brexit.
