Governance and Politics in the Post-Crisis European Union by Ramona Coman

Governance and Politics in the Post-Crisis European Union by Ramona Coman

The European Union of today cannot be studied as it once was. This original new textbook provides a much-needed update on how the EU's policies and institutions have changed in light of the multiple crises and transformations since 2010. An international team of leading scholars offer systematic accounts on the EU's institutional regime, policies, and its community of people and states. Each chapter is structured to explain the relevant historical developments and institutional framework, presenting the key actors, the current controversies and discussing a paradigmatic case study. Each chapter also provides ideas for group discussions and individual research topics. Moving away from the typical, neutral account of the functioning of the EU, this textbook will stimulate readers' critical thinking towards the EU as it is today. It will serve as a core text for undergraduate and graduate students of politics and European studies taking courses on the politics of the EU, and those taking courses in comparative politics and international organizations including the EU.

'In this textbook, leading EU scholars provide a comprehensive account of how EU institutions and policies have changed during and after the multiple crises the EU has been facing since 2008' Prof. Dr Tanja A. Börzel, Chair for European Integration at the Otto-Suhr-Institute for Political Science, Freie Universität Berlin
'A textbook for the troubled times in which we live, placing those troubles at the very heart of the analysis. Exciting, innovative, timely and, above all, honest in its analysis, this is the new key reference for all students of European integration and disintegration.' Colin Hay, Professor of Political Sciences in the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, Sciences Po, Paris
'This exciting new book studies the European Union by incorporating the many challenges that it is facing, in a host of policy-making areas, whether they be the Brexit, politicization of European integration, or the legacies of the migration and financial crises. It also examines the ongoing issues ahead: differentiation, social inequalities and what the EU can do to improve global governance. This much-awaited book provides a novel take on European integration in the current challenging times and is bound to become a very important must-read book for students, researchers and practitioners.' Amy Verdun, Professor of Political Science, University of Victoria
