The reissue of the edited volume includes the latest development in Germany’s European policy and its influence on European Integration and decision-making processes.
Well-renowned authors offer a broad and analytical approach to basic principles and detailed concepts of German European policy, including domestic determining factors. Furthermore, they analyse selected internal and external EU policy areas in the context of German European policy.
