INSTITUTIONS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION PETERSON J., SHACKLETON M. Księgarnia

The Institutions of the European Union

John Peterson, Jean Monnet Professor of European Politics, University of Glasgow, Scotland

Michael Shackleton, Head of Division, Secretariat of the European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium

Outstanding line-up of leading edge contributors writing on their specialist subjects for a student audience
The first comprehensive text entirely dedicated to the subject: a one-stop shop for any reader wishing to know the functions, powers, and composition of any EU institution.
Key focus of the book is a real-life' view of what the institutions do and how they interact.
Thematically divided into three sections and not just a straight 'trawl' through the EU's institutions: the reader will see clearly how the institutions collaborate and compete in performing different tasks and functions.
All chapters follow the same sequence and format. Readers will find it easier to navigate each chapter given consistency of order of subjects covered in each.
All chapters feature opening summaries, guides to further reading, and a list of useful web sites. The gist of each chapter will be clear to the reader pressed for time; those wanting more will be told where to go for it. All chapters will also feature multiple exhibits - policy case studies, illustrative diagrams, and tables which provide specific illustrations of general points and help bring the text 'alive'.
