Adopting a theme-based approach, rather than a country-by-country analysis, the text describes how economic and political factors interrelate - both in unity and diversity - to influence economic policy and performance in Europe. The text analyses the successes of national policy at the level of the nation state and the constraints , specifically the limits to national political and economic sovereignty, which arise from interdependence and comprehensively covers the development of contemporary Europe from the supremacy of the nation state in decision-making right through to European integration. The book provides relevent theoretical background to the policy area/debate in the more traditional aspects of economics and politics, but also in new issues of concern such as equal opportunities, race and environmentalism.
