Abstract: The text proposes that European integration is essentially a contested political process that continues to divide and inspire nations, citizens, and politicians. It avoids over-lengthy explanations of current laws and policies and instead provides students with the analytical tools to consider why the EU functions as it currently does, whether the EU is sufficiently democratic, the politics behind EU laws, debates over foreign policy, and much more. It offers the most comprehensive and timely coverage, with discussion of the Lisbon Treaty, the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, and current proposals for reforming the way integration is actually organized. Bringing together the latest scholarly research from comparative politics, international relations, law, and democratic theory, this textbook assists students in understanding the history of integration and the current state of the EU, so that they can be informed participants in the discussion of the challenges and changes facing Europe in the years to come.
