Oxford University Press is proud to return to the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival with another series of soap box talks from the very short introductions series.  These free, 15-minute talks feature expert authors from the series and take place twice a day in the Blackwell’s Marquee, next to the Sheldonian Theatre.

The European Union is rarely out of the news and, as it deals with the consequences of the Brexit vote and struggles to emerge from the Eurozone crisis, it faces difficult questions about its future. In this debate, the law has a central role to play, whether the issue be the governance of the Eurozone, the internal market, ‘clawing back powers from Europe’ or reducing so-called ‘Brussels red tape’. Barber Professor of Jurisprudence and director of education, College of Arts & Law, Birmingham Law School Anthony Arnull looks at the laws and legal system of the European Union, and discusses the range of issues that the EU has been given the power to regulate, such as the free movement of goods and people.
