Cautious Revolution: The European Union Arrives, 2nd Edition

This is a revised and updated edition of Hackett’s 1990 text. The work aims to provide a comprehensive account of the history, policies and programmes of the European Union (EU), the 15-nation alliance moving toward the economic, monetary and political union of Europe. Starting with the European Coal and Steel Community, the study gives a full treatment of EU institutions, the Common Agricultural Policy, and issues surrounding monetary and political union. Separate chapters cover EU foreign policy, including relations with the United States, and the future of the European Union. In addition, the work includes a glossary of terms relating to the EU, a biographical appendix of European leaders, and a bibliography and guide to American sources.
