Synopsis

These essays examine the Europeanization of the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany across the polity, politics and public policy dimensions.

The book's 17 chapters focus on three key themes: the challenge to the power of Germany to determine the course of the integrationist project and to shape European public policies; the increasing constraints in the domestic political arena associated with Europeanization; and domestic contestation over both the 'constitutive politics of the EU' and specific policy choices. This volume is essential reading for students of comparative European politics and German studies.
