Between Nation and Europe (eBook, PDF)

Labour, the SPD and the European Parliament 1994-1999

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book compares how the SPD and the Labour Party managed relations with MEPs from 1994 to 1999. It shows the link between polity and party organisation and how behaviour within the state is transferred to the European Parliament. "Europeanisation" is shown to entail more than policy choices; organisation matters.
