Summary:

In the years since the third edition of Ever Closer Union was published, the EU saw the ratification and implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, further enlargement, leadership changes, policy reforms, enduring Euroskepticism, an ever-growing global role, and more—all of which is reflected in this fully revised and updated new edition. Retaining its familiar three part structure—history, institutions, and policies—Ever Closer Union clearly explains the complexities of European integration from the 1950s to the present.
