This volume, based on papers delivered at a conference in Bruges, Belgium, explores the development of European federalism. The contributors also examine the political systems of other countries such as the US and Canada in order to gain insight into European integration. Some of the topics covered in the volume include recent attitudes of the German Lander towards European integration; citizenship and European union; federalism and the environment; the language problem in European integration; and the politics and administration of federalism.
