The 3rd edition of this bestselling core textbook continues to give an innovative approach to analyzing, researching and teaching the European Union. Starting from the observation that the EU now possesses many of the attributes of modern political systems, Hix and Høyland argue that we should use the general theories of political science to help understand how the EU works. For each of the main processes in the EU political system - executive, legislative and judicial politics, public opinion, interest groups and democracy, and regulatory, monetary and foreign policies - the book introduces the key political science tools, reviews the relevant theories, and applies the knowledge in detailed descriptive analysis.

The third edition of this highly acclaimed and groundbreaking text has been fully revised and rewritten throughout. As well as incorporating new data and the latest research, it examines the consequences of key developments in the EU, from enlargement to the Lisbon treaty and the 2009 European Parliament election.

To enhance teaching and learning, our companion website is packed with resources for both teachers and lecturers. Used together, this creates an indispensable and accessible companion to all upper-level undergraduate and Master's courses with a focus on EU Politics. The methodology used in this book seeks to make the make the political system of the EU accessible to political science students as a whole, as well as those specifically studying the EU.

New to this Edition:
- Fully updated to cover impact of the Lisbon Treaty and latest European Parliament elections
- More emphasis on explanation and debates in presentation of empirical information
- More concise and accessible presentation of the latest research and data

5.0 out of 5 stars Präzises Lehrbuch über die EU / très excellent manuel synthetisé / precise and very good EU book
Reviewed in Germany on 6 November 2016
Verified Purchase
Das Buch ist sehr gut aufgebaut, wirklichkeitstreu und fasst die Aspekte der EU präzise zusammen. Daher nicht nur fünf Sterne für die EU, sondern auch für dieses Buch über die EU.
Der soziale Aspekt der EU kommt leider zu kurz, was aber bei den meisten anderen EU-Lehrbüchern ähnlich ist. Der theoretische Ansatz David Eastons ist der Ansatz eines "politischen Systems" er mehr und mehr den Staatsbegriff verdrängt, sowie der Supranationalismus und der Intergouvernementalismus, mit deren Hilfe unsere Politik und Politiken in Europa sehr gut beschrieben werden. Es ist hilfreich bei Referaten, Essays, für ein solides Hintergrundwissen oder als Startpunkt für Seminararbeiten.

The is the best textbook about European Union I have seen so far. It's not just boring listing of facts but it provides the reader with theories that help the reader make sense of the material. The writing style is fresh and it has useful graphs and figures. I really recommend this book.
