ISBN: 9780198744344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Representing Europeans makes a fresh assessment of the challenge facing the European Union today: it can no longer carry out integration by stealth.

The book's pragmatic approach recommends...
