简介：Limiting their handbook primarily to approaches found within political science and its constituent subfields--international relations, comparative politics, political theory, and political economy)--J酶rgenesen (political science, U. of Aarhus, Denmark), Pollack (political science, Temple U., US), and Rosamond (politics and international studies, U. of Warwick, UK) present a handbook on the politics of the European Union that aims to provide a state of the art guide to field, contribute to debates about the nature of the field, and describe the development of the range of competing and complementary approaches to the study of the topic. The 29 chapters are presented in four parts that explore rational choice, constructivist, and critical theories of the process of European integration; examine the European Union as a polity by focusing on legislative politics, executive politics, judicial politics, organized interests, political parties, public opinion and political communication, constitutional politics, and federalism in turn; examine European politics and policy-making in terms of macro- economic policy, regulation of the market, the politics of redistribution, environmental policy, gender, maintenance of domestic order, and new modes of governance; and discuss European foreign policy, the European Union and international political economy, and Europe in the context of regionalism and globalization.
