Managing the European Union offers a coherent overview of how particular pieces of EU law are produced and shows how they are actually adopted, from start to finish, resulting in an account of the process which is of both practical and academic interest. The title presents a holistic view of EU law-making using an adapted 'policy cycle', giving a concise account of the principles and practices involved in policy initiation, legislative decision-making, and delegated and implementing acts, as well as considering EU law-making in the perspective of good governance. The title includes many procedural details, as well as illustrative examples, which are not found in other books.
