Description: As the definition, role, and significance of the European Union continues to change rapidly, this much-praised book offers a timely introduction to the subject. Originally published in 1989 and updated in 1991 (as The Government and Politics of the European Community), this third edition has again been thoroughly revised to reflect the momentous changes that have taken place in Europe in recent years.

It has also been expanded to incorporate new chapters on the Treaty on European Union (the so-called Maastricht Treaty) and on external relations of the Union. Organized into three main sections, the first part of the book examines the origins and historical development of the European Union. The second section describes the powers, influence, and methods of functioning of the principal institutions and political actors; the third and final section reviews the Union's policy interests and processes.
