European Union: Economics & Policies

The European Union

is designed for readers from all disciplines studying the EU, its economics and policies, and the effects of economic integration. Its wealth of information, detail and analysis will ensure that it is read by students, researchers and professional policymakers alike.

The European Union gained an excellent reputation since it first published and has established itself as a best-selling textbook in the field, offering a uniquely comprehensive guide to the economics and policies of the European Union. Retaining its original flavour, with historical development enshrined in its approach, this book reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of the EU and examines recent major changes.

The book is written in such a way that the pure theory and measurement techniques are confined to separate chapters. The editor has taken great pains to ensure that the book reads as a complete whole, not as a collection of independent articles and the reader has a unique product which offers a truly single book, yet is authored by several acknowledged authorities in the various fields tackled.
