Excellent in principle but now, sadly, out of date - Rated His explanation of the difference between a federal approach and inter-governmentalism is particularly interesting to Brits, and he makes the UK's position and actions (and those of others) clear in context. The principles underlying the EU's creation, development and functioning are clearly explained. My major criticism, though, is that so much has happened to the EU since the book's publication - the launch of the Euro and the accession of ten further countries in May 2004. These are prospects in the book - what we need is an up-to-date version which describes the impact of these important changes. Charts of numbers of MEPs (and similar data) by country are of no more than historical interest when they're based on fifteen members. An updated version would get five stars from me. Unclear and unfocused - Rated Excellent - a stylish and well-presented introduction. - Rated For such a short book, it is remarkably comprehensive, including political, economic, legal and historical observations. I particularly enjoyed the presentation of the EU's history, with its emphasis on the characters that have been involved in the development of the EU. Pinder's views on Britain's role are obvious - he is a fervent Europhile - but he is also quick to point out the shortcomings of badly conceived or poorly executed policies in which Britain has played no part. Given the current political climate, it was a pleasure to read a pro-European book written with authority and style. A far cry from the emotive rhetoric that pervaded the recent election campaign. This is compulsory reading for us all before the promised referendum on Europe. |
