The Europeanization of British Environmental Policy: A Departmental Perspective
ISBN: 9780333946312 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By combining political theories of the EU with new empirical research, Andrew Jordan offers a genuinely fresh perspective on the evolution of modern European governance.
