This book provides an up-to-date and, accessible, yet analytical and critical, evaluation of the nature and functioning of the European Community. Its approach is multidisciplinary. The "European Community: Theories and Practice" is split into three parts dealing with three aspects of the European Community: the explanatory theories of European integration which have been invoked to explain the historical evolution of the community; the institutional framework of the community; and detailed analyzes of the key policies and issues. Case studies of community policy formulation and implementation are used throughout the book. They are drawn from sources not easily available elsewhere (PNL is an official European documentation centre). The policy areas singled out for specific attention have been chosen because they appear on a wide range of course syllabi, and/or because they are central to the European community, and/or because they are issues of widespread concern within the community. There are three central themes running through the book. Primary among them is the dynamic and dialectical relationship between nationalism and supernationalism which is reflected in the political discourse, the institutional framework and policy-making processes of the community. A second closely-related theme is the waning power of individual nation-states as a result of growing international interdependence. The third general theme which emerges is the incremental development of EC policies and institutions since 1958. In addition, the authors analyse the results and implications of the European Elections in a appendix at the end of the text.

The history of Italy is central to the European experience. Through the supremacy of Rome, Italy enjoyed its greatest influence, as Roman power stretched from the Atlantic to the borders of Mesopotamia, and from the Scottish Lowlands to the Sahara Desert. A Traveller's History of Italy moves from Italy's pre-historic, and Etruscan civilizations, through the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, the creation of modern Italy, fascism and World War II, and the role of Italy in today's Europe, right up to the present.

"The Traveller's History" series is designed for the discerning holidaymaker or traveller who feels that they need more historical background information on the country in which they are staying than can be found in a guide. In "A Traveller's History of Italy" the author analyses the development of the Italian people from prehistoric times right through to the imaginative, resourceful and fiercely independent Italians we know today. All of the major periods of Italian history are dealt with, including the Etruscans, the Romans, the communes and the city states which spawned the glories of the Renaissance. In more modern times, Unification and the development and degeneration of the Liberal state into Fascism are covered, as well as the rise of Italy to the position it currently enjoys as a leading member of the European Community. The Gazetteer, which is cross-referenced to the main text, highlights sites, towns, churches and cathedrals of historical importance for the visitor.
