Description
Book SynopsisThe eighth edition of Policy-Making in the European Union provides students and scholars with a strong understanding of the processes and institutions involved in EU policy-making. In particular, it assesses policy-making in a more politicized context and in light of Brexit.
Trade ReviewThere are seminal books and classics, and then there is the eighth edition of Policy-Making in the EU. I remember reading the first one when I was a young student and they have followed me throughout my career from academia to civil service via politics and back. A must for anyone who wants to understand the theory and practice of European policy making. * Alexander Stubb, Director of the School of Transnational Governance at the European University Institute and former Prime Minister of Finland *
Policy-Making in the European Union is a classic. The European polity touches virtually every aspect of Europes societies, and this new edition illuminates how and why. It is a must-have for scholars and practitioners. * Liesbet Hooghe, UNC-Chapel Hill and European University Institute, Florence *
Newly updated, this remains the best textbook on policy-making in the EU! It offers an excellent combination of rich empirical assessments of the main fields of EU policies and lucid reflections on relating theories and methodological approaches. A must for scholars and students. * Andrew Moravcsik, Princeton University *
For over 40 years, Policy-Making in the EU has been an invaluable teaching resource and reference book. The new edition is again keeping up with the times. Thanks to its first-rate authors and unparalleled scope, it remains the authoritative source on the making, outcomes and development of EU policies. * Frank Schimmelfennig, ETH Zurich *
