The European Parliament (7th Edition)

"An indispensable guide... both an excellent primer for students and a reliable reference tool for practitioners", Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament

Since first publication in 1990 this has been the standard work on the European Parliament, packed with information but also very readable. It covers every aspect of how the Parliament is elected, is organised and does its work and its relationship to the other EU institutions.

The new 7th edition has been fully updated to include changes including the impact of Bulgarian and Romanian accession, reorganisation of the political groups and numerous other developments.

One of the authors is an MEP while the other two are senior officials of the Parliament and they together bring an unrivalled depth and breadth of knowledge about how the Parliament really works.
