Nearly 20 years after it first became an elected institution, it is time to assess the impact of the European Parliament on the process of European integration. This book does so, beginning with an analysis of what integration theorists expected of the directly elected Parliament when such an idea was still on the drawing board and then examining what the Parliament has achieved in practice. It concludes that the Parliament has been extremely significant, though not always in the ways initially expected.

Industry Reviews

'A fascinating insight into the impact of the Parliament on the process of European integration. I can think of no better person to have written this book than the author who has been involved in the Parliament's work on these issues for many years. Anyone interested in the process of European integration will find it most interesting.' - Klaus Hansch, former President of the European Parliament

'The reader owes a debt of gratitude to the author's diligence...Throughout this work Richard Corbett seeks to enlighten and illuminate the reader's path rather than obfuscate...legislators and observers could benefit from studying processes and conclusions set out in this excellent work.' - Diana E. Maxwell, European Business Review

'Richard Corbett is in a different class...[A] tome...constructed of such highly readable prose that were it a novel the promoters would say it was impossible to put down...[S]ets out the many theoretical factions with such clarity and skill that the reader is caught up in the pace of the narrative...[T]he book is a masterpiece.' - Christ White, The Parliament Magazine, The European Parliament
