Conceptualising European Union Health Law

Le résumé fourni par la source

A collectively authored article, which (unusually in legal scholarship) makes explicit the processes and methodologies by which 'European Union health law' is conceptualised; the implications; and the strengths and weaknesses of the approach taken. Strengths include implied structural and systemic coherence; and the breadth of analysis that having a large team of authors permits, through holding their positionalities in creative interplay with each other. The authors argue that European Union health law - defined as transversal and distinctively European Union law that either directly or indirectly affects human health, in a broad sense - should be understood through a metaphor of growth and connectedness, specifically a 'tree'. The article seeks to initiate a discussion not only about European Union health law, but also about European law and health law.
