The European Mosaic is an up-to-date introduction to all aspects of the politics, economics, culture and recent history of the European Union in particular and Europe in general. The European Mosaic effectively familiarizes students with EU issues that are currently in the news and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. It is a clear and accessible introduction to the European polity. Its strongly interdisciplinary focus provides a multidimensional understanding of contemporary Europe, of the process of European integration, and of the dynamics of the European Union. Suitable for undergrduate courses in European politics.

Originally published in 1982, written at a time when Scotland was emerging from a recession, it offered a comprehensive appraisal of the Scottish economy. The book shows that long-term regional problems had not gone away and that the presence of North Sea oil was not a guarantee of future economic health in Scotland. A major theme of the work is the key role of government expenditure in the (then) recent restructuring of the Scottish economy. Many of the issues discussed remain pertinent today, as Scotland once again discusses the future shape of its economy and political identity.
