The European Union

The Annual Review, produced in association with the JCMS, The Journal of Common Market Studies, covers the key developments in the European Union, its member states and acceding and/or applicant countries in 2004/2005. It contains key analytical articles on political, economic and legal issues in the EU by leading experts, together with a keynote article. The Review is the most up-to-date and authoritative source of information for those engaged in teaching and research or who are simply interested in the European Union. Includes an invaluable guide to EU documents and publications - and the various websites of the EU - together with a chronology of key events, and a list of all the books submitted to the Journal of Common Market Studies for review.
