Politics and Policy in the European Community

Mehr zum Buch

This introduction to the politics of policy-making in the European Community was first published in 1985, and soon became established as a standard work. In this new and revised edition, George explains the successes, and the more frequent failures, of the Community in its attempts to formulate common policies. First outlining the institutional framework within which policy-making occurs, looking at the international and national contexts of its formulation, George then examines in depth seven major policy areas: energy, agriculture, internal market policy, economic and monetary union, regional policy, social policy, and European political cooperation.
