[This book] answers almost every factual question that the undergraduate is lilcely to ask about the existing organizational structure of the Community, and the judgements that the author offers from time to time are invariably sound and sensible." -Government and Opposition Neill Nugent is Professor of Politics and Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration at Manchester Metropolitan University.
