Political science & theory; EU & European institutions

What is the impact of institutional reform implemented by the Nice Treaty on European Governance? What should be done to enhance democratic legitimacy in the EU? This book provides an up-to-date guide to understanding the European Union as an institution. The contributors not only describe its functions, but also suggest reasons for why it works

the way it does. Analysing the pressures to which the EU is

subject and its relationship with the member states, they consistently provide a comprehensive backdrop against which to discuss the various effects of the Nice Treaty. Globalisation has led to enormous changes in the international environment which, in turn, have demanded institutional reform of the European Union in the form of the Nice Treaty. European Governance After Nice scrutinises how, and to what extent, the treaty will contribute to the solution of existing problems, examining both its positive effects and its limitations. The reforms within the EU are examined through a number of disciplines, political science, law and economics, in order to express the full extent of the different effects of the Nice Treaty on non-member as well as member countries. The contributors suggest that the threat of varying exchange rates in the future, when the Treaty has an expansionary effect on economic scale, will lead to a deepening interdependence between the excluded countries.
