Opis

German Unification and the Union of Europe explores the effects of Germany's unification in 1990 on its policies toward the European Union. Jeffrey Anderson examines the interplay between the domestic politics of unification and the supranational politics of integration, attempting to explain the complex pattern of continuity and change in Germany's policies toward Europe. The book utilizes leading theories of political economy, and is based on detailed archival research and numerous interviews with politicians, civil servants and interest group representatives in both Germany and Brussels.

Recenzje

"Anderson provides solid empirical evidence... Scholars will benefit greatly from the use of his analytic framework, and the arguement will long continue to pose a significant challenge to those who claim that Germany's foreign policy will now be shaped primarily by external forces and its growing power on the European and international scene." Beverly Crawford, International Relations
