Résumé
Written by one of Europe's leading analysts of the EU,
European Integration uniquely combines economic analysis
with a detailed knowledge of the integration methods
employed in the European Union. Application of the economic
analysis is demonstrated through numerous practical
examples and specially written case studies which help to
bridge the gap between theory and policy practice.
The new edition of this highly respected text has been thoroughly updated to include all recent developments in the field of European integration, including the Amsterdam Treaty, the arrival of the euro and issues surrounding enlargement.
European Integration has been carefully designed to appeal to a wide range of students studying economic integration as part of an economics, business, law or public administration degree.
Key features
- Unique integration of economic theory with EU regulatory & policy framework.
- Non-mathematical treatment of economic theory.
- Innovative analysis of the economics of subsidiarity and the economic constitution of the EU.
- Economic theory is presented using graphical, non-algebraic tools
- Numerous case studies are included throughout, many of direct relevance to business.
