Little wonder people don't understand, let alone appreciate, the European Union. Europe: The State of the Union cuts through the jargon to offer a clear and concise assessment of this unique political institution. This pioneering account explains not only what the Union is, what it does and how well it does it, but also why politicians have so little interest in explaining it to the public.     Anand Menon avoids the excesses of ardent fans and sworn enemies of European integration, whose dreams of a federalist future and nightmares of a European superstate have subverted public discussion. In contrast, while pointing out the Union's shortcomings, he argues that the EU is an ingenious and necessary tool of its member states, helping them address myriad complex policy problems they would not be able to deal with alone.     Europe: The State of the Union is an urgent and rigorous evaluation of the great strengths - and profound weaknesses - of the European project.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49604626153745,"sku":"GOR011081087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613648265489,"sku":"GOR004047892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49630843011345,"sku":"GOR006367162","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1843544792.jpg?v=1750833899"},{"product_id":"comparative-federalism-book-anand-menon-9780199291106","title":"Comparative Federalism","description":"The Convention on the Future of Europe served to galvanize debate about the nature and future developmental trajectory of the European Union. More specifically, it engendered discussion over the degree to which the process resembled that which had occurred in Philadelphia some two hundred years earlier, and, more broadly, over the extent to which the European Union does, or should, resemble the United States. Partly as a consequence of such debates, comparative federalism is now an important topic, with scholarly work comparing the US and EU proliferating rapidly. The present volume seeks to build on and contribute to this growing literature, by developing a systematic comparison of the institutions, policies and developmental patterns of the European Union and the United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51089300947217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51089304158481,"sku":"NIN9780199291106","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140256002321,"sku":"NLS9780199291106","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199291101.jpg?v=1751290816"},{"product_id":"britain-and-european-integration-book-anand-menon-9781405126724","title":"Britain and European Integration","description":"Bringing together contributions from the eight men who have held the post of British Permanent Representative to the EC\/EU, this book provides an authoritative insight into the way Britain’s relationship with its EC\/EU partners has developed since accession in 1973.

This book seeks to explore not only the nature of this relationship, but the broader implications of European integration for the ways in which politics in Europe is studied. It addresses three major questions. How has European integration affected national politics and public policies? To what extent has the existence of the EU challenged existing approaches to the study of national politics? How appropriate is it to attempt to study the EU using the analytical tools traditionally used to study nation states? The intention is to consider the impact of European integration both on the nature and the study of politics in western Europe. These questions are addressed by a group of distinguished academics from both Europe and North America. Their findings will be of great interest to all those interested in the European Union and in West European politics more generally.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331555782929,"sku":"NLS9780199244034","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734597955857,"sku":"NIN9780199244034","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199244034.jpg?v=1758148839"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-anand-menon.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
