Book Reviews of Understanding the European Union: A Concise Introduction (European Union)

Book Review: A major scholarly contribution
Summary: 5 Stars

Having had the pleasure of studying under Dr. McCormick, I'm most pleased to find yet another stellar contribution from his scholarship on the European Union!
The author clearly and thoroughly presents the facts surrounding the EU's origins, early development, evolution, and enlargement.
Dr. McCormick remains faithful to his uniquely fact-dense style of writing. The material is presented in a readable and engaging way.
McCormick compares and contrasts the successes and shortcomings of EU politics and policies from his unique perspective as a British-born resident of the U.S.
He dispassionately explains the intricacies of the Europeanist/Atlanticist dichotomy in a manner easily grasped by EU scholars and the average reader alike.
Dr. McCormick has once again distinguished himself amongst EU scholars.

Summary of Understanding the European Union: A Concise Introduction (European Union)

John McCormick's Understanding the European Union provides a uniquely broad-ranging but concise introduction to the EU, covering in one volume all major aspects of European integration. The third edition is systematically revised and updated throughout reflecting the major changes brought about by the 2004 enlargement round. It also includes a full assessment of the EU constitution, the impact of the Euro, and much expanded coverage of EU policies and policy making.
