Designed as a replacement for the author's highly-acclaimed Representing Interests in the European Union, this new book provides a concise but comprehensive and authoritative assessment of professional, consumer, social, business and labour interests in the EU and of the role, significance, and operation of EU interest representation.

'Well informed and perceptive, a very accomplished book which really does add to the sum of knowledge about, and understanding of, the way that Europe really works.' - Neil Kinnock, Vice-President, European Commission

'This is a scholarly and well supported account of an area of growing academic interest: it should form an essential component of any academic library collection which serves schools and departments of politics, social science and business management. Equally EICs would find the material of very direct relevance to the business community, while public libraries would find it useful in support of business, community and political interests. [A] highly readable, eminently clear and lucid account.' - Focus

Review comments on Representing Interests in the European Union:

'Greenwood provides a lucid and authoritative account of interest representation, based on his own researches and a mastery of the specialist literature...This is a really excellent book which should be read with pleasure and profit both by undergraduates and advanced researchers in the field.' - Andrew Macmullen, Political Studies

'[A] really excellent book. It is packed with information, and elegantly written. [T]his book admirably justifies [the author's] assertion that what he is studying is not a narrow specialism within the study of the EU, but a central aspect of the subject.' - Stephen George
