The JCMS Annual Review of the European Union in 2011

Produced in association with the Journal of Common Market Studies (JCMS), the Annual Review covers the major developments in the European Union in the past year. In addition to analytical articles written by leading experts in their respective fields covering political, economic and legal issues, it contains specially commissioned articles by Douglas Hurd, Willem Buiter, Daniel Gros and Erik Jones.
