The most engaging and accessible advanced textbook on policymaking in the EU. By opening up the 'black box' of EU policymaking, this accessible and engaging textbook introduces the processes through which EU policy is made and shaped, extending beyond decision making in Brussels to highlight the crucial roles of national capitals, subnational governments, citizens, civil society groups, political parties and elected representatives in addressing real concerns from the regulation of AI to environmental and social policy and the right to move freely in the EU. Demonstrating how policymaking must navigate competing interests and beliefs, with divergent perspectives playing such important roles throughout, this new introduction offers a comprehensive overview of EU policy suitable for students at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Bernard Steunenberg is Professor Emeritus of Public Administration at the University of Leiden, Netherlands.
