It adopts a federalist approach which supplements state-based arguments with federal political ideas, influences and strategies. By exploring the philosophical and historical origins of federal ideas and tracing their influence throughout the whole of the EU's evolution, the book makes a significant contribution to the scholarly debate about the nature and development of the EU.The book looks at 606 $aFederal government$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aEuropean federation$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNation-state 615 0$aFederal government 615 0$aEuropean federation$xHistory 615 0$aNation-state. 676 $a341.242/2/09 676 $a341.242209 700 $aBurgess$b Michael$f1949-$01701213 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820517203321 996 $aFederalism and European union$94184898 997 $aUNINA
