The European Union (EU) series, edited by Neill Nugent, William E. Paterson, and Vincent Wright, aims to provide a comprehensive library on the EU, covering general introductory texts to definitive assessments of key institutions, actors, policies, and member states. The series includes four main strands: general textbooks, major institutions and actors, main areas of policy, and member states and the Union. Books are written by leading scholars and are designed to be accessible to a wide audience, including students, practitioners, and general readers. The series features both published and forthcoming titles, such as "The Political System of the European Union" by Simon Hix, which delves into the legislative, judicial, and policy-making processes within the EU. The book also explores public opinion, interest representation, and specific policy areas like competition, redistribution, and economic and monetary union.The European Union (EU) series, edited by Neill Nugent, William E.
