This does us all a disservice, and in this period of uncertainty about the future of Europe it is more important than ever that we have a firm grasp of the issues at stake. This powerful new book debunks the misconceptions surrounding the EU and makes a compelling and comprehensive case for the benefits of European integration. It shows how the EU has improved the lives of Europeans in countless ways, and how it has given Europe a powerful presence on the international stage. Guaranteed to illuminate as well as spark debate, this book will appeal to anyone who seeks to better understand what Europe means and why it matters."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Introduction -- What is Europe? -- Europe as a Peacemaker -- Europe as a Marketplace -- Europe as a Democracy -- Europe as a Community -- Europe as a Model -- Europe as a Global Player -- Where To From Here? -- Twenty Reasons Why Europe Matters. 610 20 $a European Union. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Foreign relations. 610 27 $a European Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916630 650 7 $a UE/CE Union europeÌenne. $2 eclas 650 7 $a UE/CE Relations exteÌrieures. $2 eclas 650 7 $a UE/CE MarcheÌ unique. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Maintien de la paix. $2 eclas 650 7 $a DeÌmocratie. $2 eclas 941 $a 5 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091610.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044531.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826080424.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011541.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150226010321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE1E25DC098911E49E3D8DEDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
