Routledge Library Editions: Politics of the European Union brings together in a 35-volume collection some standout titles from the Routledge backlist. Books examine the immediate postwar period in Europe and the first moves towards European political cooperation and the challenges faced in building the European political community. Inter-European national politics are analysed as the continent moved towards integration as well as internal politics – devolution and regionalism within member states. European foreign policy is examined as is the thorny issue of European security and a European defence policy and Nato.
