Understanding The European Union: A Concise Introduction
by By McCormick, John
Category: Political Science , International Relations , General

The main goal of McCormick (political science, Indiana U.) in this new edition remains to "demystify" the European Union (EU) in a clear and concise manner. In addition to describing the institutions of the EU, its relationship to member states and citizens, its economic and social policies, and its interactions with the wider world, he also provides context in the form of discussions of regional integration in general, the concepts behind the "idea of Europe," and the EU's historical evolution.
