Synopsis

The new and completely revised edition - and first in paperback - of the best, most up-to-date and accurate guide to the people and institutions of Europe and the European Union. 'Europe' is confusing. Institutions change name (the 'European Economic Community', or 'Common Market' or 'European Community' and for now 'the European Union'). And different institutions have similar names (the Council of Europe, the European Council, the Council of Ministers). Relations between the institutions are complex and opaque. The whole process is cloaked in technocratic jargon, acronyms and endless initials. Yet everyone knows that the EU is important. This entertaining book clarifies the subject and gives an insight into the flavour of the institutions and key players of Europe.
