European Union Governance and Policy-Making
introduces the politics of the European Union (EU) to a student audience. The book is explicitly written for students enrolled in universities in Canada, or other non-EU countries, and builds on their academic background. Chapters cover the political and legal system of the EU, theories of European integration, core EU policies such as the Single Market, its single currency, migration policy, EU enlargement, as well as pressing issues facing the further development of European integration.
This second edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to include a discussion of Brexit, the European Green Deal, COVID-19, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Written by leading Canadian scholars in the field of European integration, as well as international experts with teaching experience in Canadian universities, this textbook leverages the comparison to Canada and its federal system to help students understand what is unique about the European Union.
