Synopsis

European Union Governance and Policy Making introduces Canadian students to the politics of the EU. Divided into three parts, the collection examines its political system (history, theories, institutions), specific policies, and some of the challenges that the EU currently faces. Geared toward students who are learning about the EU in Canadian classrooms, the text integrates Canadian content and examples to demonstrate how Canada compares to the EU. It discusses current issues such as the refugee crisis and the rise of populism, Brexit, and plans for deepening European integration in the wake of the Euro Area financial crisis. The introduction defines core themes and each chapter returns to these themes, creating structure and coherence.

Media Reviews

Edited by a trio of political scientists based in Canada, European Union Governance and Policy Making: A Canadian Perspective is a comprehensive and invaluable text for Europeanists and would-be EU citizens alike. The detailed analyses by scholars located on both sides of the Atlantic cut through the complexity of regional governance systems to provide theoretically informed accounts of both the histories and current challenges facing the EU across a wide range of intersecting policy areas, from agriculture to security.
