Reviews

The European Union Since 1945 should be read by undergraduates in introductory EU courses, policy practitioners who are interested in how the European project developed over time, and by the intelligent general reader. This is an excellent example of how an accessible textbook with crucial supporting documents should be written, documented and presented. Neil Winn, European Foreign Affairs Review ...The most concise and accurate description of the development of European institutions and their policies. Michael J. Steffens, Political Studies Review The author is balanced in his presentation of the controversies surrounding the organisation and its future. Dr James Munson, Contemporary Review
