The relationship between the EU and Central and Eastern Europe is one of the key issues for the future integration of Europe. This volume explores EU-CEE relations since 1989 and the conditions that have shaped them, focusing on the contribution by the EU to political, economic and social change within CEE countries in the context of a gradually emerging "European" policy. Part I examines EU-CEE relations. Part II concentrates on four case studies--the Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary and Poland. The book concludes with two detailed chronologies of EU-CEE relations and a summary of the current Agenda 2000 proposal for EU enlargement.

The loss of its Empire and the "turn' to Europe are the two striking features of Britain's foreign policy since 1945. The contributors examine the connection between the two processes. Utilizing a range of sources, the authors challenge conventional interpretations of the connection, and in doing so raise important questions about the nature, motivation, and effects of British policy.

Europe remains the great fault line in British politics, the issue with the power to make or break prime ministers and government. This second edition offers a clear, concise introduction to the European Union and the role of Britain in European politics.

He also explores the British participation in the EU's legislative processes. New to this edition is coverage of the introduction of the Euro, the reform of the Commission, the Amsterdam Treaty, the elections of 1999, and Agenda 2000.
