"This book, based on the widely praised original version by Colin Pilkington, provides an up-to-date account of Britain's uneasy relationship with the EU and of the impact of the EU upon British government and politics. This new book, like its predecessor, will be essential reading for students and teachers of Britain in Europe and Europe in Britain."--BOOK JACKET
