Description: Which way is Europe going? And what are the real options for Britain?

PSI's Britain in 2010 report, widely acclaimed and now in its third printing, provided an authoritative and independent study of likely longer-term developments in Britain. This book goes on to examine how far the developments expected in Britain are paralleled in other European countries; and the impact they are likely to have on the future shape of Europe - in particular, whether they will tend to pull the countries of Europe closer together, or to push them further apart.

It assesses the likelihood of developments such as monetary union and enlargement, and considers their possible implications for the future of Europe. The book approaches the European debate from a new perspective and brings out a number of important issues which have not yet received much attention. It draws on a mass of factual material, but sets out complex arguments in a way which is clear, accessible and very readable.
