First sentence: Before one can even speculate about what public policies are likely to emerge at the level of Europe, or how they are likely to be processed and implemented, one must have an inkling about what kind of polity the European Community/Union is going to become.
Description: Adjusting to Europe provides lively coverage of the impact of Europe on national policies. With contributions from some of the leading writers on European politics and public policy, it delivers a new and exciting analysis of the policy-making process.

The impact of the EU upon its member states has been profound in terms of regulatory powers yet its redistributive functions are negligible. Adjusting to Europe confronts the paradoxes of policy-making at the EU level not only from an institutional point of view, but also with a consideration of the context and styles of the policies.
