Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
The Penguin Companion to European Union by Timothy Bainbridge
Explains the ideas, institutions, personalities and policies that have shaped politics at European level since the Second World War. This title includes entries on the drafting and aborted ratification of the European Constitution, the new power balance defined by the Lisbon Treaty, and the politics and economics of the eurozone debt crisis.
I recommend this book to anyone wanting a comprehensive, well-balanced and well-informed account of today's Europe -- Chris Patten Teasdale and Bainbridge provide the best single guide to today's EU -- Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council Everyone, whether Europhile or Eurosceptic, should read this book -- Professor Vernon Bogdanor A sparkling addition to the sea of Euro-literature... There is much to surprise and amuse, as well as inform Financial Times
