Analyses
the likely future of the EU following next year's Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) which
is likely to be even more significant for the future of Europe than the Maastricht Treaty.
Since Maastricht it has become clear that future developments are less certain with regard
to the EU and integration. The IGC will have to try and resolve tensions such as:
"widening" Europe to include former communist countries whislt also trying to
"deepen" Europe with increased political and economic integration; providing a
framework which is acceptable to a core of countries (Benelux, Germany, France) who favour
more integration and an early move to monetary union with countries such as the UK, which
does not.
*Provides
comprehensive coverage of key issues on the IGC agenda
*Adopts an interdisciplinary approach, combining perspectives from political science,
economics, and law
*Written by acknowledged experts and practitioners
