well written introduction - and nice to look at as well
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
George and Bache provide a very readable and informative overview of all the main questions connected with the EU. The layout is particularly well done and enhances the effectiveness of the text. The authors start with a discussion of the main actors in the EU (Commission, Council, Parliament, Commitee of the Regions and Economic and Social Commitee) but also include such timely topics as the question of legitimacy or the concept of multilevel governance and other theoretical approaches to European integration. A separate chapter focuses on organised interests. In part 2 the authors provide a well-structured overview of relevant policy areas. All in all, this book can be recommended as a well written introduction to European (EU) studies.
