Institutional law is to a large extent the poor relation in the literature on the EU''s constitutional order, particularly compared to that on the Community''s legal system and the protection of fundamental rights. With the increase in the complexity of Community and Union decision-making, some familiarity with how the institutions operate has become useful, even essential, across the entire gamut of Union activity. At the same time, such familiarity has become ever more difficult to acquire, owing notably to successive rounds of Treaty amendment and the judicialisation of inter-institutional relations. This book seeks to redress the balance somewhat, by treating as a subject in its own right the law governing the structures, organisation and functioning of the institutions, and the legal regulation of relations between them.
