{"product_id":"transnational-power-elites","title":"Transnational Power Elites","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that European Union institutional mechanics and the EU as a political unit cannot be properly understood without taking into account the elites that make the policy decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpurred by globalisation, technological and economic development has provided the backbone for social and political transformations that have changed the social structures that unite and differentiate individuals and groups in Europe and their interface with extra-European actors. These developments are not only exemplified by the rise of the EU, but also by the rise of a set of transnational European power elites evolving in and around the European construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book maps out these EU and international interdependencies and provides a comprehensive picture of the European transnational power elites. Moving away from the majority of literature on European integration dominated by economics, law, IR and political science, the volume is written from a sociological perspective that takes into account the individuals that make the policy decisions, the formal and informal groups in which s\/he is included, as well as the social conventions that regulate political and administrative activities in the EU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of EU studies, sociology, critical security studies, and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257050157400,"sku":"9780415665247","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415665247.jpg?v=1769032832","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transnational-power-elites","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
