The Institutions of the European Union

With admirable clarity and thoroughness, Peterson (European politics, U. of Glasgow, UK) and Shackleton (head of division, secretariat of the European Parliament, Brussels) outline and define the institutions that provide direction, manage, and integrate the diverse interests of the EU. Each chapter is devoted to one institution and concludes with notes, short bibliography, and websites. An extensive bibliography is provided at the end. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
