Publisher's Synopsis
The 1980s witnessed a rapid acceleration in moves towards fuller European integration, with the European Community assuming an increasingly important role in the European economic, political and social affairs. It is likely that the pace of change will continue to quicken in the 1990s, first with the completion of the Single Market in 1992 and then, more controversially with the introduction of a single currency and agreement on a timetable towards further political union.;"The State of the European Community" aims to provide a major stock-taking survey of these developments and an assessment of the future options for further integration. Its 30 chapters deal with all major EC institutions, policy areas and debates and it provides historical background as well as contemporary analysis. It is suitable for readers who know little of the EC as well as seasoned Euro analysts and the team of authors from the UK, Europe and USA provides an international perspective.
