Zusatztext This remarkable up-to-date text has a lot going for it. It is written by a set of experts who have a deep understanding of the European Union. Moreover! they are able to translate that knowledge into a set of straightforward explanations of the European Union´s complex history! even more complex structure! and its current configuration. But what I like best about this text is that it uses this understanding to take on contemporary issues that threaten the EuropeanUnion´s nearly 60 year experiment in the pooling of national sovereignty. The authors explain why the future of the European Union is in doubt and how ultimately the citizens of Europe will determine its fate Informationen zum Autor Daniel Kenealy is Lecturer in Public Policy at the University of Edinburgh.John Peterson is Professor of International Politics at the University of Edinburgh.Richard Corbett is currently the Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber region! and formerly an advisor on institutional issues to the President of the European Council. Klappentext The European Union: How does it work? is a perfect introduction to the EU's structure and operations for those studying it for the first time. An expert team of scholars and practitioners cut through the complexity to explain how the EU works in practice! and equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to study EU politics.
