Government and Politics of the European Union FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this fifth edition of the leading text in its field, Neill Nugent provides comprehensive coverage and analysis of the developments occuring in the European Union. As in earlier editions, this volume presents an introduction to the origins of the Union and provides detailed analysis of the powers involved, the influence and functioning of the EU's principal institutions and political actors, as well as perspectives on major policy interests and processes. Thoroughly revised and updated, the book contains extensive new material on such matters as the Treaty of Nice, Economic and Monetary Union, the Lisbon Strategy, security and defense policy, and EU enlargement.
FROM THE CRITICS
Political Studies
Neill Nugent has once again supplied us with a definitive textbook on the institutions and politics of the European Union. . . . It is a masterful effort at explaining the inexplicable and at making the opaque transparent.
European Access
In addition to being a core teaching text on the EU, the book provides a useful reference work for both academics and practitioners in the field.
Journal Of Common Market Studies
This is by far the best teaching text on the European Community. . . .
West European Politics
Nugent manages throughout to convey the complexity of the EC system without confusing the reader. In short, it is an excellent book with which it is difficult to find fault.
Government and Opposition
Well organized, well researched, and clearly written. This book answers almost every factual question that the undergraduate is likely to ask about the existing organizational structure of the Community, and the judgements that the author offers from time to time are invariably sound and sensible.
ACCREDITATION
Neill Nugent is Professor of Politics and Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration at Manchester Metropolitan University. Among his other books, he is the author of The European Commission and editor of At the Heart of the Union: Studies of the European Commission.
