Summary:

This is a fully revised edition of a well-established text for students. It offers an invaluable and up-to-date interpretation of the European policy process. Helen Wallace and William Wallace have assembled a team of internationally-renowned authors to present fourteen case studies - ranging from analyses of the CAP and environmental policy, to the politics of Economic and Monetary Union and the new World Trade Organisation. Helen Wallace also provides, in the two opening chapters, an introduction and overview of European politics, policy, and institutions. In concluding the volume, William Wallace reflects on the future for the EU as it faces calls for ever closer political integration.
