European Community:

The European Community has moved ever closer towards European union. Yet how did the Community begin and what are its present powers? How will the Community develop if it continues with economic, monetary, and political integration? Now fully updated, John Pinder's new edition details: how the transformation of relations among member states has resulted from a series of steps; the strengthening of the Community's institutions; its enlargement from six to twelve countries, and the new bids for membership; the moves from customs union to the single market, and from the EMS to the project for economic and monetary union; discussions of GATT & Maastricht; and the development of agricultural, budgetary, industrial, social, and foreign policies.
