Summary: |
This is a unique book-length accounts of the domestic impact of EU membership. Drawing on expert contributions, this volume provides a state of the art account of how membership has affected the institutions of central, devolved and local governance, the activities of organized interests, and major areas of public policy. 'This is a refreshing book, covering an impressive range of actors and policy areas. It is based on new theoretical underpinnings and provides a careful assessment of the impact of European integration on British politics, policy and institutions. It will be a formidable tool for teaching and a significant input to scholarly research on Europeanization.' - Professor Claudio M. Radaelli, University of Exeter, UK. 'The question of how the processes of 'Europeanization' work has triggered a lively debate among those who study European integration. This volume is a valuable contribution to this debate. It has a sharply defined focus on the experiences of the United Kingdom over the years, across policy domains, and across levels and venues of governance and politics.' - Professor Helen Wallace, European University Institute, Florence, Italy. 'Britain is a European country but has often claimed to be insular and unique. This book explores the extent to which membership of the EU has made Britain more 'European', analysing the impact which the EU has had on British politics, policies and institutions. It is theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich and will be essential reading for students of British politics.' - Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield, UK '...this is a strong collection of papers which together provide a useful review of the Europeanization process that has reshaped governance and politics in the UK.' - Drew Scott, Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy. |
