- Designed to be the first book used to introduce students to the EU, featuring a top-rank collection of authors and a unique blend of scholarly expertise and practitioners' experience.
- Takes a 'real-life' view of the EU's structures and operation, offering students a lively account that brings the EU to life, as opposed to the more formal approach generally taken by other textbooks.
- Answers the fundamental questions of how the EU works, who its main actors are, and what processes and dynamics are involved.
- Online Resource Centre offers additional material.
New to this edition - Two new chapters on security in Europe, and constitutionalism and democracy.
- The chapter on Enlargement now includes Eastward expansion.
The new edition of this concise introductory text de-mystifies the European Union's structures and operation. Blending scholarly expertise and practitioners' experience, the authors introduce and analyse the EU's key actors, processes and developments. The book's overall aim is to provide an accessible, lively introduction to how the EU works and why it matters. Readership: First and second year undergraduate students studying European Union politics and European studies.
