Review
A volume containing ten essays dealing with quite diverse aspects of European politics. Although the book is designed to have a policy focus, the most interesting essays deal with the institutional development of the European Community: the characteristics of the EC's civil service (David M. Wood) and voting patterns in the European Parliament (Leon Hurwitz). ... The editor's introductory chapter summarizes each essay in detail. A short bibliographical essay reviews the literature on European integration.Choice
