Description
Can the European Union survive repeated economic crises? If it survives, will it stay as it is or take on a new form? This new edition of The European Union and the Member States, fully revised and updated, addresses these questions as it explores the complex relationship between the EU and each of its now 28 members.
The country chapters follow a common format, considering: How and in what areas does EU policy affect, and how is it affected by, the member states? What mechanisms do the member states use to implement EU policy? What is each state's compliance record? Covering the full range of political, economic, and social issues, the authors offer an insightful discussion of the interplay of EU initiatives with strong, existing national policies and traditions.

Reviews
"Invaluable to all specialists, students, and academics working in the field of European studies and international relations." - Wojciech Wozniak, Journal of Contemporary European Studies
"This valuable book offers an impressive 'bottom up' view of the new Europe...[It] is a coherent and accessible overview of the striking diversity of the European dimension of political life across the member states." - Munroe Eagles, IEUSS Book Reviews
"A rich and timely volume...The extremely readable efforts to make sense of policy conundrums means the book may be used quite profitably in the classroom, and the very fact that all member states are covered testifies to the project's considerable comparative breadth." - William M. Downs, The Journal of Politics
