European Union Politics is the most complete and issues-led introductory textbook on the European Union. Alongside rigorous coverage of the theory, institutions, and policies of the EU, the book engages with contemporary debates, and current crises. The eighth edition has been substantially updated, with significantly revised chapters on trade and the EU and the future of the EU, as well as three new chapters covering gender and sexuality in the EU, digital policy, and the war in Ukraine. The text’s accessible writing style makes it the ideal starting point for anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of the workings of this complex and ever-evolving system. Throughout the book, students are supported by helpful learning features, including key points, questions, and examples.
