Leading experts in the field explore how policy domains, institutions and instruments have evolved, and assess the levels of policy competence between the EU and its member states. They analyse how the transformation of EU governance has been influenced by security threats and economic disequlibria that endanger individual civil liberties and prosperity. The Handbook also provides useful insight into the prevalence of multilevel governance within the EU, from local to global structures, and outlines how the conflicting preferences of member states can impede global governance.
The Handbook of European Union Governance is an enlightening read for students and academics in economics, law and political science. It is also a valuable toolkit for educators and policymakers in global politics and security.
