The European Union faces a crossroads in the twenty-first century. While there is evidence of declining enthusiasm for European integration, the EU plays an increasingly vital role in tackling problems that can no longer be dealt with at member state level.

In this fully updated new edition, Alasdair Blair examines the economic, political, social and personal factors that have shaped the process of European integration from the end of the Second World War until the Lisbon Treaty in 2009. Written in a clear and jargon-free style, the book explores:

This is an excellent example of how an accessible textbook with crucial supporting documents should be written, documented and presented.”
Neil Winn, European Foreign Affairs Review
“...The most concise and accurate description of the development of European institutions and their policies.”
Michael J. Steffens, Political Studies Review
“The author is balanced in his presentation of the controversies surrounding the organisation and its future.”
Dr James Munson, Contemporary Review
