by John McCormick (Author)
Reflecting the numerous recent shocks and challenges to the global system and to the EU's place in that system, McCormick's European Union Politics cuts through the myths and misunderstandings about EU politics.
It explains the origins of the EU, the way in which its key institutions work, and its impact on policies as diverse as the economy, education, climate change, and the defence of Europe from new threats. This new edition covers critical recent developments, including the 2024 European Parliament elections, leadership changes within the European Commission and the European Council, the rise of right-wing political parties, developments in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the dramatic aftermath of the 2024 US presidential election. Striking a balance between theoretical insights and practical content, the book ties the work of the EU to real-world events. With illustrations, maps, figures and tables, this text is ideal for those studying EU politics and policies, and a valuable resource for anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of this critical actor in European and global affairs.Author Biography
