Review
In a European Union beset by the ill-winds of multiple economic, social and political crises, this edited volume holds steady, looking on at the apparent chaos of recent years to put fast-paced empirical developments into clear and reasoned perspective, thanks to the concise, state-of-the-art contributions from leading political science scholars in the field. (Dr Paul Stephenson, Maastrict University)
The editors continue to recruit top EU scholars in their fields to stay absolutely current with this fast-moving and complex political system. The text beautifully balances offering clear, concise and accessible explanations with the presentation of important processes and analytical concepts that allow both new and experienced students of the EU to go deeper. (Professor Antony Zito, Newcastle University)
There are many published guides to the complicated worlds of the European Union, but this volume has always stood out. This new fifth edition is special indeed. (George Ross, ad personam Chaire Jean Monnet, Université de Montréal)
Written by experts in the various areas of EU politics, the text is always up-to-date and covers all topics essential for an introductory text. (Trygve Ugland, Bishop's University, Canada)
This is a great book and it holds a clear advantage over its competitors, primarily because of its great scope and accessibility. (Daniel Walther, Umea University, Sweden)
The best book out there on the EU. It really draws on on-going research and changes in the EU literature. (Diana Morlang, Santa Clara University, USA)

Completo e approfondito
Reviewed in Italy on 13 April 2020Verified Purchase
Comprato per un esame universitario, mi sono innamorato e l'ho utilizzato anche per la tesi. Manuale fra i più completi per quanti riguarda la politica e le politiche dell'Unione europea. Acquisto necessario per chi voglia comprendere di più la gestione della nostra casa europea. E' chiaramente un testo accademico, non adatto ad una lettura non seria.

Out of expectation, Very Satisfactory.

Just bought it because of my course and exam. Major readings are found in hear. Great value of money. Combination of many authors. Many of them have well explained the matter with simple words. One of the most useful book relating to the study of European Politics. Contents are: definition of the European Union, formation of European Union, functions and departments of European Union, theories relating to relationship within European states - coalition, European enlargement and separation of states - as well as basic histories, interest groups, EU policies such as agricultural, security, and numbers of others. Truly helpful.
