Understanding the European Union

An immediate best-seller on first publication, the comprehensively revised, expanded and updated second edition of John McCormick's Understanding the European Union provides a uniquely broad-ranging but concise introduction to the EU. Rather than focusing just on the politics or the economics of the EU or on detailed coverage of its institutions and/or policies, the author covers in one volume all major aspects of European integration combining a very clear and accessible thematic narrative with boxed summaries of a wide range of essential facts and figures.
