Second Edition - Comprehensively Revised and Updated
A substantially revised and updated new edition of this highly-successful and ground-breaking text which analyzes the EU as a political system using the methods of comparative political science.
The European Union seems incapable of undertaking economic reforms and defining its place in the world. Public apathy towards the EU is also increasing, as citizens feel isolated from the institutions in Brussels and see no way to influence European level decisions.
This comparative examination of the impact of European integration on the politics and government of EU member states covers the parties, the legal system, voters and public administration.
