About the Book

This major new text provides a systematic overview and assessment of all aspects of Britain's relations with the EU and of the extent to which British politics has been Europeanised since joining. The author argues that despite its widespread characterisation as an awkward partner, Britain is not alone among EU members in being out of step on occasions - though these have been more frequent than for other major member states - and has a very good record of compliance with EU policies once adopted.

About the Author :
ANDREW GEDDES is Reader in Politics, University of Liverpool and Director of the Europe in the World Centre.

Review :
'[A] very valuable book which is successful in demonstrating the factors that have determined British policy towards European integration and at the same time illustrating the impact that the EU has had within Britain...[It] is of particular value in providing a text that goes beyond the 'awkwardness' debate and has the greatest utility in assisting the teaching of the subject. - 'Alasdair Blair, British Journal of Politics and International Relations 'In a field filled with textbooks on the EU that focus on the institutions and policies of the Union, it is refreshing to find a book that eschews this overly EU-centred focus and seeks to present a more subtle and nuanced analysis of Britain's relationship with the European Union...Written in a clear and accessible style, Geddes has produced an excellent book that will be required reading for students on EU and British politics courses.' - Philip Catney, Journal of Common Market Studies
