It can be confusing and is frequently misunderstood, often as a result of misrepresentation in the media. This accessible introduction to the subject of Britain and the EU, now in its second edition, highlights and examines different forms of relationship between the EU and the various tiers of government in the UK. The role of the media, political parties, pressure groups and the ever-changing position of public opinion are evaluated, and a historical context is also provided to enable a clearer understanding of the relationship and how it has changed over time. Throughout, the impact of the powers of the EU, and of the EU membership on Britain, are evaluated from a range of perspectives. Key Features new to this edition: - Analyses the outcomes of the 2014 elections to the European parliament - Examines the relationship between the EU, the media and social media - Considers the role of public opinion through an examination of various opinion polls Alistair Jones is a Principal Lecturer and University Teacher Fellow in the Department of Politics and Public Policy at De Montfort University. Previous publications include A Glossary of the European Union (Edinburgh University Press, 2008). He also writes in the Huffington Post blog.

In spite of this, the number of parish councils and the roles they perform are increasing. This book explores the reasons for this apparent resurgence in parish councils. Some of it is a response to local demand, especially with the impact of austerity on local government as a whole. At the same time, austerity measures have seen moves to much larger units of local government. Again, the demand for a more local tier of government has resulted in the creation of new parish councils. There is a huge caveat and this is in relation to capacity. Do these new councils have the capacity to deliver the services demanded of them?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52672667451665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52672670073105,"sku":"NLS9783030451271","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030451271.jpg?v=1762295178"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-alistair-jones.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
