Understanding the European Union builds on the success of previous
books on European integration by the authors, offering a completely
new text packed with new accounts and analysis of developments in
the European Union. Providing a comprehensive and accessible
introduction to the historical development, institutions and
policies of the European Union, the book also examines the
continuing key issues and debates surrounding European integration,
and the attitudes of the member states to those issues, including
institutional reform and enlargement. Coverage is divided into Five
Parts: Part One looks at the historical background to European
integration up to the end of the twentieth century and raises the
question of whether integration has been or will continue to be
inevitable. Part Two examines the institutions of the Union - how
they work, how they interact with one another, and with the member
states, and their role in the policy-making process. Part Three
details the origins and nature of European Community Policies -
from the major common policies, to the key economic policies,
including EMU, and other important policies including social and
employment matters, structural funds and the environment. Part Four
addresses Pillars II and III, the Common Foreign and Security
Policy and Justice and Home Affairs. It also examines the
contemporary developments and debate about providing the European
Union with an operational military capability. Part Five focuses on
the attitudes of all the Member States to the central issues of
recent Inter-Governmental Conferences, institutional and policy
reform and European integration. It also examines the issues of
enlargement. Key features include: A unique combination of the
expertise of a Brussels 'insider' and an experienced academic and
teacher. An exploration beyond the basics to an understanding of
the broader issues involved in the debate about the European Union
and the future of European integration. A Glossary of key terms and
practices and Discussion Questions to prompt further debate;
material on the June 1999 elections and the crisis of the
Commission. Understanding the European Union is an essential
textbook for students of the European Union, European Studies,
Comparative Politics, International Organisations and international
Relations. It is an invaluable guide for anyone trying to
understand the workings of Brussels.
