Sixty Years of European Integration and Global Power Shifts: Perceptions, Interactions and Lessons

by Julien Chaisse

Overview

This book focuses on a review of how sixty years of case-law and regulatory activity transformed the European continent and the world. It provides a critical analysis of the key features of EU integration and how this integration is perceived (internally and externally). In this context, this book also explores the EU's interactions with a number of other countries and organisations with the objective of assessing the EU's role in global governance.
