Reflections on European Integration: 50 Years of the Treaty of Rome

by D. Phinnemore (Editor), A. Warleigh-Lack (Editor)

Overview

Exploring the development of the European Union, this book examines the ways in which it has been studied over fifty years from the vantage point of four disciplines, each side of the Atlantic, and both academic and practitioner perspectives. Drawing on contributions by some of the world's leading scholars in the field, it maps the past and present of both the EU and EU studies before setting out a provocative agenda for future work in the area.
