<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The definitive textbook on EU politics and governance, now in its 8th edition, has been thoroughly updated to take into account the ongoing developments and evolution of the EU. Major changes, recent developments, and the crises that have befallen the union in recent times are analysed within this context. This includes eurozone crisis, the migration crisis, and the UK's decision to leave the EU. <p/>Acclaimed author and academic Neill Nugent has written a comprehensive text, enabling students with no prior knowledge of the EU to master the subject. By detailing the historical evolution of European integration, Nugent gives the necessary context to his exhaustive analysis of policies, process, institutions and treaties. This has grown to include two new chapters on Member State Relations and Interest Representation. The final section considers concepts and theories with EU studies, providing a succinct, accessible introduction to theory, which can be read as standalone chapters. <p/>With a new structure to increase readability and packed with numerous pedagogical features - document excerpts, case studies, maps figures - and supported by a fully stocked companion website with resources for both students and lecturers, this text is an essential for students new to EU studies. <p/>This new edition offers: <br>- New chapters on Member State relations and interest representation<br>- Updates on all main institutions, policies and processes<br>- Authoritative coverage of the main institutions, policies and processes of the EU<br>- Redesigned textbook with even more pedagogical features<br>- New companion website including updates, data resources, PowerPoint slides and test questions</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Neill Nugent has once again supplied us with a definitive textbook on the institutions and politics of the European Union. However it is much more than this. It is an essential reference book for both the academic and practitioner ... [and] a masterful effort at explaining the inexplicable and at making the opaque transparent." --<i>Political Studies</i> <p/>"The book is well organized, well researched, and clearly written. It answers almost every factual question that the undergraduate is likely to ask about the existing organizational structure of the Community, and the judgements that the author offers from time to time are invariably sound and sensible." --<i>Government and Opposition</i> <p/>"Nugent manages throughout to convey the complexity of the EC system without confusing the reader. In short, it is an excellent book with which it is difficult to find fault." --<i>West European Politics</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>NEILL NUGENT is Emeritus Professor of Politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.<br>NEILL NUGENT is Emeritus Professor of Politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.</p>
