Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union: From Aachen to Zollverein

by Leach Rodney

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Students of the European Union have, until now, had no ready place to turn for a succinct and comprehensive description of its many institutions, policies, laws and personalities. This gap was felt among politically conscious readers and researchers eager to understand better what many sensed to be a period of upheaval and change, and among students and teachers of modern history, politics, economics and international affairs who recognized the growing influence of the EU but lacked a general reference book on its activities and felt themselves unduly reliant on Community sources for information about controversial European questions. <BR> Now in its third edition and published in the United States for the first time, this valuable resource provides an excellent, thorough and inexpensive response to those needs - from Charlemagne's Aachen to Bismarck's Zollverein, via all the key modern-day institutions, people and ideas that anyone studying or dealing with the EU is ever likely to come across.

Book News Annotation:

A collection of brief entries and longer articles on organizations, concepts, parties, documents, people, and events related to the European Union (EU). Choice of entries is based on one criterion: whether or not a given subject is likely to enter an informed current discussion on the EU. Topics of interest only to historians have been omitted, as have expressions used exclusively by bureaucrats. This third edition reflects the introduction of the single currency, defense development, the EU's prospective enlargement, and the emergence of new faces on the European stage. Appendices offer statistics on voting and currency. Author information is not given.
