"This book is a valuable and welcome addition to the literature on the EU and integration, and it should be of considerable interest to any serious scholar of EU politics."—Michael Baun, American Political Science Review

"Well worth the money for anyone who wants to catch up on state-of-the-art scholarship in the field."—ECSA Review

DESCRIPTION

With the ratification of the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht) in 1993, a new era in the history of European integration emerged—an era that juxtaposes the principle of subsidiarity with widening membership, and that challenges member states to balance interests of sovereignty with wider European goals.

This volume, the third in a biennial series, explores the implications of these and related developments in the context of integration analysis. The authors reflect on European integration in theoretical and historical perspective, review the impact of widening, deepening, and the "Europeanization" of member state politics on both member states and the Union, and examine the origins and character of a range of policies at the EU level.
