Description: This is the first scholarly look at the likely future of the EU after next year's Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) which will probably be more important to the future of Europe than was the Maastricht Treaty. Since Maastricht it has become clear that the future developments are less certain with regard to the EU and integration. The IGC will try and resolve tensions such as "widening", Europe to include former communist countries while also trying to "deepen" Europe with increased political and economic integration; providing a framework which is acceptable to those countries who favor more integration and an early move to monetary union. Reforming the European Union provides comprehensive coverage of these key issues and adopts an interdisciplinary approach, combining political science, economics and law.
