Governance in the European Union Book

This book presents a fresh alternative to traditional state-centred analyses of the process of European integration. A team of world renowned scholars analyse the state in terms of its component parts and clearly show the interaction of subnational, national, and supranational actors in the emerging European polity. This `multi-level politics' approach offers a powerful lens through which to view the future course of European integration.The authors' empirical exploration of areas such as regional governance, social policy and social movements underpins their broad conceptual and theoretical framework providing significant new insight into European politics.Governance in the European Union will appeal to students and academics across the broad spectrum of political science, and will be of particular interest to those in European studies, public policy studies, comparative politics and political theory.Read More
