'The third edition of this highly regarded textbook will be warmly received by researchers and teachers. It gains its considerable strength from the authority of its contributors and the comprehensiveness of its coverage'.
Wyn Grant, University of Warwick

'A number of Europe’s foremost specialists on the European Union offer fascinating theoretical and empirical insights on all central aspects of the EU: the process of policy-making, Europeanisation of member states’ policies, the dynamics of European integration, the central political and judicial institutions, the electoral process, interest groups and the European Union as an international negotiator as well as enlargement. The volume links a broad range of questions viewed from different theoretical lenses linked with in-depth empirical findings. This makes the textbook on the European Union, edited and introduced by Jeremy Richardson, an authoritative reading for all scholars and the wider public interested in the European Union.
Adrienne Heritier, Professor of Public Policy at the European University Institute, Florence

'Jeremy Richardson has succeeded in assembling an outstanding group of contributors in his newly revised edition of The European Union: Power and Policy-Making. One distinctive merit of the book is that its focus on
public policy-making encourages us to examine a variety of actors (public and private) within an evolving (hence dynamic) institutional context. The dichotomy between actors (agents) and institutional context (structure) is overcome by overcome by [sic] viewing both within a single theoretical framework. The focus on power helps us to understand the role of politics in deciding distributional issues as well as in the pursuit of common goals.
