This fully revised second edition explains not only what happens but why, analysing the EU's strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities for it to be more effective. With the EU's very existence under pressure due to Euroscepticism, continued crises with migration and borders, the re-emergence of the far right, and renewed great power competition in Europe and the world, it specifically outlines:
How the EU has evolved over the last 70 years
How it works: the institutions, the mechanisms
Every area of EU competence from agriculture to defence
The effects of the single market, a single currency and the successes and stresses of the eurozone
The impact of the enlargement of the EU, prospects for further enlargement and closer political integration
Reforming the EU's decision-making and defending the rule of law
The EU's place in an ever more disorderly world
The Routledge Guide to the European Union is well-established as the clearest and most comprehensive guide to how the EU operates. This new edition brings you up to date at a crucial stage in its history, at a time when it has never been under greater internal and external threat, but conversely is perhaps more important than ever.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
