This is the standard work on the European Parliament since its first edition in 1990, and still written by the original authors. It covers every aspect of how the Parliament is elected, is organised and does its work. One of the authors is an MEP while the other two are senior officials of the Parliament and they together bring an unrivalled depth and breadth of knowledge about how the Parliament really works. The new edition is fully updated to include changes including the impact of Bulgarian and Romanian accession, reorganisation of the political groups and numerous other developments.
