Derek W. Urwin Bücher

Taking an Atlantic to the Urals view of Europe, this new dictionary is an authoritative reference on contemporary Europe, individuals; events and treaties; organisations; countries and regions. The entries are concise, but in sufficient detail to provide a real understanding and insight into the events and personalities described.

This hugely successful history of political and economic integration in Western Europe since the Second World War -- and especially, but by no means exclusively, the European Community itself -- was first published in 1991, to general acclaim. Since then much turbulent water has flowed under the bridges of Maastricht and Strasbourg. Now, in this welcome Second Edition, Derek Urwin has brought the story fully up to date, with an account of developments since 1991 and an assessment of the mood and prospects of Europe and the Community today.

This is the first edition since 1981 of this standard textbook for upper school and undergraduate students of European politics and modern European history. The book has been fully revised and updated to include the changes that have occurred in Europe since 1981. The text has been rewritten, redesigned and reset. It tackles the subject under three main themes; a review of political and economic developments during the period; the movement towards greater unity and co-operation in Europe; and Europe's global role.
