| Review(s) from previous edition:
- ''More than ever, the fourth edition of Wallace and Wallace is a 'must'. This book nicely combines an analysis of EU sectoral policies by the best experts with the overall and systemic approach to the complex European machinery of the two editors. There is nothing equivalent on the market'' - Yves Meny, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre, European University
Institute
- ''Readers looking for a solid, comprehensive account of European policy-making authored by some of the best experts in the business, need look no further than this thoroughly updated revision of the Wallaces' classic text'' - Robert D. Putnam, Professor of Government, Harvard University
- ''Empirical richness and deep insights into the complexity, dynamics, and varieties of policy-making in the EU make this book an invaluable guide for those who want to learn what is really happening in Europe'' - Johan P. Olsen, ARENA Programme, University of Oslo
|
| Description | | - A thoroughly detailed and authoritative survey of contemporary EU policies and policy-making, covering everything a student needs to know.
- All chapters include excellent learning aids such as facts boxes, key concepts boxes, a guide to further reading, web links, and discussion questions.
| New to this edition- A new introduction explains the aims and organisation of the book.
- A new chapter lays out the primary questions of the book against the background of new research.
- A new chapter on employment policy has been added, as there have been a lot of developments in this area.
| In recent years the European Union's membership has increased from 15 to 25 countries, it has adopted the Lisbon strategy for achieving greater economic competitiveness, taken steps towards a more purposive common foreign and defence policy, and significantly increased its efforts to deal with challenges to internal security.
The new edition of this highly successful textbook brings the
reader up-to-date with the range of core policy challenges facing the European Union and the ways in which they are being addressed. It includes a new chapter which lays out the primary questions of the book against the background of new research and a new chapter on employment policy which covers the major developments in this area. |
Readership: Undergraduate students in the second or third year of a Politics, International Relations and European Studies degrees.
