It succinctly reviews the reasons and methods of European integration, analyses what the European Union (EU) really does, and examines how funds are spent. The whole range of current EU policies is critically reviewed: the Single market; the Euro; and the common policies on agriculture, fisheries, the regions, industry, competition, transport, the environment, social affairs, consumer protection, research, taxation, justice, trade, development, foreign affairs and defence. This book argues for a much slimmed- down European executive. It needs to become fully accountable in a democratically legitimised bicameral federal system, and take charge only of policies essential for effective internal and external security and for a working economic and monetary union. To avoid policy paralysis and continued mismanagement by a redistributive and over-regulatory bureaucracy, most of the current "low politics" and EU funds should be returned to the member states and their regions. This book thus makes a long overdue informed contribution to the debate on Europe's future constitution. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 European Union.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2004153355 610 24 European Union. 610 27 European Union.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916630 650 0 Federal government|zEuropean Union countries.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103652 650 7 Economic policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 902025 650 7 Federal government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 922333 650 7 Relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892706 651 0 European Union countries|xEconomic policy.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114978 651 0 European Union countries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94003571|xSocial policies. 651 0 European Union countries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94003571|xRelations.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00007590 651 7 European Union countries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1269470 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRothacher, Albrecht.|tUniting Europe. |dLondon : Imperial College Press ; Singapore ; Hackensack, NJ : Distributed by World Scientific, ©2005|z1860945163 |w(DLC) 2004065843|w(OCoLC)57311774 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=167334|zOnline eBook.
