Constituting a major contribution to literature on the European
Union, this comprehensive Companion analyses the structure and
value of the EU, capturing the normality of its politics alongside
crises and political breakdown. Examining the EU through the lenses
of political science, history, law, sociology and international
political economy, the Companion provides a holistic outline of the
methodological controversies and core theoretical approaches in
European studies. Taking a closer look into the governance of and
regulation within the EU, chapters consider its range of actors and
decision-making processes before exploring the regulation and
redistributive policies of the internal market. Forward-thinking,
the Companion concludes with a discussion of the EU’s strategies
in responding to issues of increasingly global significance,
including climate change, migration and war. Reflecting on the
evolution of politics beyond the nation-state, it predicts a shift
in the EU’s raison d'être from inward narratives of internal
prosperity to outward narratives of increasingly competitive
international power. International and interdisciplinary in scope,
the contributions will be invaluable to students and scholars of
international and EU politics, policy and relations. Tracing the
potential future directions of the EU, it will also be a vital
resource to policymakers working in EU regulation and governance.
Explores the state of regional politics in an increasingly
integrated Europe. The text argues that the predicted rise of
increased political power at the regional level has failed to
materialize and is fraught with paradox. In doing so this study
locates regions in relation to European integration, globalisation,
the nation state, local government, and comparative and national
perspectives. Using case studies of the main players in Europe
including: Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and
Belgium, the contributors show how and why European regions remain
remarkably weak in European governance. Drawing together European
scholars, the text should be of interest to those interested in
European politics, political economy, nations states and social
groups in the new Europe.

Member States of the European Union combines geographic and
thematic coverage to provide a comprehensive and nuanced overview
of the building blocks of the European Union - its member states.

Europeanization, analysing the wide-ranging impact of
Europeanization on member state institutions, political parties,
social movements, public policy and the European political economy.
New coverage includes state responses to the refugee and climate
crises and two new chapters dedicated to Bulgaria and Greece. A
fully-updated chapter on the United Kingdom illustrates the
tensions between Europeanization and member statehood, exploring
the implications of the UK's vote to leave the EU. It is the ideal
text for all those studying EU Politics with an interest in the
member states of the European Union and how they work together.
Ministries of foreign affairs are prominent institutions at the
heart of state diplomacy. Although they have lost their monopoly on
the making of national foreign policies, they still are the
operators of key practices associated with diplomacy:
communication, representation and negotiation. Often studied in a
monographic way, ministries of foreign affairs are undergoing an
adaptation of their practices that require a global approach. This
book fills a gap in the literature by approaching ministries of
foreign affairs in a comparative and comprehensive way. The best
international specialists in the field provide methodological and
theoretical insights into how best to study institutions that
remain crucial for the world diplomacy. Contributors are: Thierry
Balzacq, Guillaume Beaud, Gabriel Castillo, Andrew Cooper, Rhys
Crilley, Jason Dittmer, Mikael Ekman, Bruno Figueroa, Karla Gobo,
Minda Holm, Marcus Holmes, Walid Jumblatt Abdullah, Nikolaj Juncher

In analysing the fisheries sector, this book explores key issues
relating to the EU polity as a whole, including the distribution of
power, the representation of interests at national and
transnational levels, the allocation of budgets and resources, and
the EU's place as an actor on the global stage. In this way
Lequesne uses the Common Fisheries Policy to provide a varied
illustration of European policy in action. The scholarship is based
on high-quality research, carefully conducted and articulated. The
result is an in-depth insight into the fisheries sector which
reveals broader characteristics of the EU. This book should appeal
to students of EU policy and academics concerned with the fisheries
industries.
