European Union Economics - Softcover

European Union Economics is the ideal text for students who have not studied this topic before. It requires no specialist knowledge of economics. The new edition continues to favour the economic analysis of public policy over detailed descriptions of EU institutions and history. After a general introduction to the theory of economic integration and the structure and objectives of the EU, there is a review of the problems confronting policy makers, an overview of policy alternatives and actual EU policy as well as a comparison between policy performance and objectives. Boxed material handles some of the more theoretical issues.
