The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World

First edition, third printing.  xx, 404pp. Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine.  8vo.  There is a little pencil underling and marginal annotations through the introduction, else the volume is neat, clean, bright and tight.  In its original dust wrapper, just a little bumped at extreme edges.  Dust wrapper now protected in an archival quality Mylar wrapper fitted without the use of tape or adhesives. Contrary to the widespread assumption that the European Union is a declining power, Bradford argues, persuasively, that it will become and remain the world's chief regulator and political influence for decades to come.
