The Fundamentals -- Part 2. The Pursuit of Plenty -- Part 3. The Pursuit of Power. 520 "The European Union in the 21st Century takes a fresh look at a complex and ever-changing organization by examining its pursuit of two very different objectives: power (security and political weight) and plenty (economic growth and social welfare). Nikolaos Zahariadis aims to help students understand these two objectives and how the tension between them affects different issue areas, illuminating how each objective represents a different perspective on what the EU is and what it does. The book also introduces students to the systematic thinking that political scientists employ to see the connections between policies, institutions, and actors. By unpacking the various perspectives, students will gain greater insight into how policymakers think and why EU leaders make the kinds of decisions they do"-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 European Union |y21st century. |=^A1390026 651 0 European Union countries |y21st century. |=^A356651 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s85.00 |uJPOS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 6290600
