Riassunto

This best-selling book delivers a comprehensive introduction to the policy-making processes at work in the European Union.

Written by some of the leading authorities in the field, this new edition has been significantly improved to make it even more accessible for second and third year undergraduates. Addressing some of the more contentious areas in order to stimulate students interest, this book also continues to cover the vital elements of EU courses including:

• theory
• history
• institutions
• policy
• relations with member states
• external relations
• enlargement.

A companion website also supports this edition, with a clear guide to more technical material such as statistics, as well as regular updates.

This volume is essential reading for all students of politics and the European Union.
