Recenzii
"Ever since it was first published, Leonard’s Guide to the European Union has played an invaluable role in unravelling these mysteries and complexities [of the European Union]. It is especially valuable, and rare, for doing so in a sober, meticulous and non-partisan way… No one could be better qualified to produce an updated, authoritative and highly readable guide than Leonard and Taylor." - Bill Emmott, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist from 1993-2006.
"The Economist Guide to the EU is the best book I know that explains clearly the complexities of the EU to the intelligent layman… Curios (sic) voters will find this book a useful source of objective information about the EU, and I have no doubt that it will be respected as such by both defenders and critics of the EU. In the longer run many students, business people or politicians that need to deal with the Brussels institutions will feel that they should own this book." - Charles Grant, Director of the influential think-tank, the Centre for European Reform (CER).
"Dick Leonard's Guide to the European Union has long had a deserved reputation for clarity and reliability. His new, updated edition comes at an important moment in the history of European integration and will be a valuable aid to the public debate in Britain and throughout the European Union." – John Palmer, former European Editor of The Guardian and former Political Director of the European Policy Centre.
"An indispensable guide still highly relevant to the debate, and, arguably more important than ever. Whatever happens from now on, Brexiteers and Remainers should appreciate this wonderful guidebook, written by two of the greatest experts on the European Union.’ - William Keegan, senior economics commentator, The Observer
"In times like these, politicians, journalists and the public are desperate to find a concise but authoritative exposition of the ways and workings of the EU. In this book, they find just that: from the history of the EU, through its institutions to an examination of the competences. An invaluable guide in uncertain times!" - Kier Starmer, QC MP, and Shadow Brexit Secretary

Descriere
Written by experts, this long-established and definitive guide to the workings of the European Union provides comprehensive, straightforward and readable coverage of this sometimes misunderstood and complex institution. The Routledge Guide to the European Union is well-established as the clearest and most comprehensive guide to how the EU operates. This new edition brings you up to date at a crucial stage in its history at a time when, arguably, it has never been under greater threat, but conversely is perhaps more important than ever.
