Description: Fully revised and updated, Politics and Policy in the European Union is the third edition of this established introduction to politics and policy making in the European Union.

Stephen George covers all the key subjects of study, with separate chapters looking at: the history of the EU, its institutions, the theory of European integration, three of the key players (Britain, France, Germany), and the international context. He also examines in depth seven major policy areas: energy, agriculture, internal market policy, economic and monetary union, regional policy, social policy, and European political co-operation.

Using a clear, accessible style, Stephen George provides the ideal introduction to the EU, equally valuable to students of the European Union, and to anyone studying European issues as part of a course on economics or politics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [304]-315) and index.
