Dear Colleagues,
Santa sent me two books for Christmas which I am now pleased to offer for
review in 'Focus'. They are:
1 - Problems and Chances of the East Enlargement of the EU, edited by Ilja
Srubar, 209 pp, price EUR 29.70, published by www.kraemer-verlag.de.
Extract from publishers blurb:
"Target of this volume is to consider the enlargement of the European Union
not only as a bureaucratic process but to demonstrate also the social and
cultural chances and tensions arising from the process of integration.
The enlargement to the East is analysed in four sections from the point of
view of the European Union as well as of the candidate countries, at which
the examination of the global process is completed by detailed case studies.
In front of this background the key problems of the enlargement as well as
the complexity of the process of growing together in Europe become clear."
2 - Spain and Portugal in the European Union: The First Fifteen Years,
edited by Sebastian Royo and Paul Christopher Manuel. 224 pp, price £19.99
(EUR c28.50). Published by http://www.frankcass.com/.
"This publication provides an up-to-date assessment of the political and
economic issues and is valuable reading for anyone wishing to understand
contemporary Spain and Portugal. ... Drawing on research by established
scholars, "Spain and Portugal in the European Union" offers original series
of analyses of the development of Iberian Politics, sociology and economics
since the accession to the European Union."
Anyone interested in providing me with a short (250-300 word) review of
either title by 16 February should contact me as soon as possible.
Regards,
Eric
