The Politics and Governance in the European Union offers a detailed and in-depth analysis of the history, key institutions, political actors, and policy-making processes in key areas of the EU. In this sense, the book tracks and analyzes the essential aspects of the dynamics of European integration and presents, in a very specific and completely understandable way, the most recent developments and challenges facing the EU.

These characteristics of the book have established it as one of the most up-to-date works of its kind worldwide. This new edition not only includes the expected updates and improvements to the previous version, which has already been appreciated by the Greek public, but also analyses of the most recent events that shape the dynamics of the Union today (Lisbon Treaty, institutional and non-institutional developments driven by the economic crisis and the crisis in the Eurozone, etc.).

The edition includes a comprehensive timeline of the most significant events that have defined and continue to define the processes of European integration, extensive references to print and electronic sources, as well as a bibliography, which are accompanied by corresponding additions in Greek.

A book essential for the library of every modern European citizen.
