Reviews / Votes
Here we find 19 essays written by 25 scholars who examine the different aspects of the EU: its external policies, its institutions, its political economy, its culture and identity, and the effects of its activities on relations between Europe and the United States. The comparisons with the United States are thought provoking and point out not only the sharpened policy and cultural differences of the past few years but also how far the EU remains from being a true European Nation. This fine volume is like an MRI of a currently sleeping patient. * Foreign Affairs * Here we find 19 essays written by 25 scholars who examine the different aspects of the EU: its external policies, its institutions, its political economy, its culture and identity, and the effects of its activities on relations between Europe and the United States.
