ISBN: 9780742516939 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Later stages in the enlargement process of the European Union have led to even more referendums. Indeed, European integration was seriously jeopardized when Danish voters first rejected the Maastricht Treaty and France's citizens almost joined them. Yet we know very little about how referendums affect the integration process. This...
