Reviews

'A practical and informative account of what the European Union actually does in the world, and how it goes about it. I welcome Hazel Smith's level-headed contribution to a literature too often characterised by polemics and special pleading'
*Commissioner Chris Patten*

'Indispensable for students and scholars alike'
*Professor Chris Hill, London School of Economics*
