European Union Politics

by Michelle Cini, Nieves Perez-Solorzano Borragan

European Union Politics, Fifth Edition, is the most complete, current, and authoritative overview of EU politics available. Bringing together carefully edited contributions from leading scholars in the field, it assumes no background knowledge and is therefore accessible to students new to the
subject.

Alongside comprehensive coverage of the history, theory, institutions, and policies of the EU, European Union Politics, Fifth Edition, features a section on contemporary issues and current debates, including democracy and legitimacy in the EU, public opinion, the economic crisis, and a brand-new
chapter on the future of the EU.

The text is enhanced by excellent learning features including reader's guides, text boxes, key points, figures, questions, further reading, web links, and a glossary. An extensive Companion Website (coming soon) will offer resources for students--multiple-choice questions, a digital flashcard
glossary, an exam study guide, an interactive map of Europe, biographies of important figures in EU history, and links to OUP journal articles--and instructors--PowerPoint-based lecture slides; seminar and quiz questions; and examples of simulation exercises.

Reviews

[Michael Gerald]

The De La Salle University Library in Manila is probably the best in the Philippines and this recent book is one proof of it. This one from the library's European Documentation and Research Center is a great introduction and general reference to the European Union, its history, theoretical bases, structure, and how it works (and does not work).

[Anneleen]

Very good introduction into eu politics

[Niamh Amy]

beginner book my ass I had like 3 different mental breakdowns reading this

[Gift]

Well, this one was quite good. It reminded me on my old school books- nice tables, strict structure, discrete chapters. And like every school book it helped me to get an overview but provided only limited information. What more, after 30 pages I was really irritated to read the same literature references over and over again. In comparison to other text books it was nothing special, but… I liked the layout which made me smile and feel like I was in the high school again :-).

A very good book for EU students, especially the beginners. I read most parts of this book whilst getting prepared for s scholarship exam & interview, and I highly suggest it to people in my situation as well.

[Hossein Aghaie]

The book provides a detailed, updated and highly organized description of the ways in which the European Union performs its day to day functions. The huge advantage of the book is that it describes the EU's evolution and mechanisms in a very simple way.

[Kenneth]

This book is an excellent introduction to the complicated and often misunderstood polity that eventually came to be known as the European Union. It is fairly organized in its delivery of information and the text is fairly easy to read.

[Arya Nasoetion]

This book brings an easy understanding on how the European Union works, and it also covers theories about integration. Students of European Studies should read this book.

[Aleksandra]

simply breath-taking. :P

[Daša]

One of the best textbooks on the European Union.
