Michael L. Mannin thoroughly applies the concept of ""Europeanization"" across the political system to explore how far change is a product of Britain's interdependent relationship with the EU. Ideal for courses in British and European politics, this book breaks new ground in exploring the complex interdependence that the EU should bring to the study of European political systems.Europe today (Rowman and Littlefield, Inc.)Great BritainPolitics and government320.441Mannin Michael L1502568MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781127303321British government and politics3730422UNINA
