Reviews

Poole does a fine job of identifying and explaining the governance issues confronting Europe, which may be summarized as differences on the question of to what extent member nations retain their sovereignty and to what extent they cede sovereignty to the EU. The monetary debate brings the issue of sovereignty into focus, as some nations decline to join the rest of the EU in monetary union. How this affects other issues is of paramount importance to the future of an enlarged EU. Poole nicely discusses the issues facing the EU as it plans to expand. Given the scope of the project, this is a commendable description and summary of the issues. Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduate through research collections. -Choice [T]his is an excellent choice. It is appropriate both for informed general readers as a text for advanced undergraduate courses on both the EU and European politics. -Political Science Quarterly YThis is an excellent choice.
