Policy-Making in the European Union

Alexander Stubb, Director of the School of Transnational Governance at the European University Institute and former Prime Minister of Finland There are seminal books and classics, and then there is the eighth edition of Policy-Making in the EU. I remember reading the first one when I was a young student and they have followed me throughout my career from academia to civil service via politics and back. A must for anyone who wants to understand the theory and practice of European policy making.

Liesbet Hooghe, UNC-Chapel Hill and European University Institute, Florence Policy-Making in the European Union is a classic. The European polity touches virtually every aspect of Europes societies, and this new edition illuminates how and why. It is a must-have for scholars and practitioners.

Andrew Moravcsik, Princeton University Newly updated, this remains the best textbook on policy-making in the EU! It offers an excellent combination of rich empirical assessments of the main fields of EU policies and lucid reflections on relating theories and methodological approaches. A must for scholars and students.

Frank Schimmelfennig, ETH Zurich For over 40 years, Policy-Making in the EU has been an invaluable teaching resource and reference book. The new edition is again keeping up with the times. Thanks to its first-rate authors and unparalleled scope, it remains the authoritative source on the making, outcomes and development of EU policies.
