About this title

Review

"The third edition of the Wallaces' Policy-Making in the European Union is a harmonious marriage of the what, the who, and the how of the European Union. Policies and institutions are discussed in sufficient detail to illustrate the real core of the book: patterns of decision-making and the differences between them. This book is the best of its kind for many years to come. There is no more satisfactory introduction to the life of the European Union. I insist that my students use it and I refer my colleagues to it when they need a pointed but comprehensive introduction into the politics of European integration."--Ernst B.
