Handbook of European Union Politics

---

The European Union (EU) poses quite profound questions for scholars and students of the social and political sciences. This benchmark Handbook is designed to:
Provide an authoritative state-of-the art guide to the scope of the field suitable for both established scholars and students of the EU
Reflect and contribute to the debates about the nature of the field of EU studies and EU politics in particular
Explore in detail the development of the many approaches to the study of EU politics Divided into four sections, the Handbook focuses on theorizing European integration; the EU as polity; politics and policy making in the EU; and the EU and the international system. Its appeal resides not only in its comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the field, but also in the quality of its contributors, and the diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches included. The resulting volume is a ‘must have’ for all scholars and advanced students of the EU and European integration.
