Summary:

Published under the auspices of the EU Centre of Excellence at Dalhousie U., Canada, with financial support from the European Commission, this volume presents 14 contributions including introductory and concluding essays by editor Finn Laursen (Dalhousie U.). Under the broad theme of basic institutional choices, discussion encompasses supranationalism-intergovernmentalism as an administrative concept, the new EU's internal security architecture implementation challenges, and the economy of the Treaty of Lisbon. Subsequent contributions address institutional actors (e.g. the EP's legislative role in co-decision, the "permanent" presidency of the European Council), and external action (preserving policy autonomy, prospects for regional development in African and the Caribbean).
