An excellent book that is well written and which benefits from being comprehensive enough to answer the majority of the questions that someone might seek answers for; at the same time it is brief and clear enough to get these points across... A very useful addition to the literature on the EU which will be particularly welcomed by undergraduate and A-level students as well as a non-academic audience. -- Alasdair Blair, Coventry University Political Studies Review An excellent book that is well written and which benefits from being comprehensive enough to answer the majority of the questions that someone might seek answers for; at the same time it is brief and clear enough to get these points across...
