One of the many reasons for forming the European Union was to allow workers to move freely amongst sites, regardless of the nationality of the workers and the location of the sites. However, many have questions whether in practice this movement has become a fundamental right, and how movement for employment or other reasons has become entangled with domestic and international civil rights. This edition, updated to reflect current interpretations and policies, gives historical and sociological contexts for the basic legal provisions as well as introductions to the relevant treaties. It covers the effects (intended and otherwise) of specific articles, the scope of the free movement of workers (including the provision of services by third-party nations established within the community), freedom of establishment, freedom to provide and receive services, derogations and limitations, issues of European citizenship, and international agreements involving free movement.
