Books by Derek W. Urwin

Examining such issues as the welfare state, the politics of unemployment and government-industry relations, this work looks at the developments in western European politics up to and during the 1980s.

Offers an introduction to the complex and changing world of European international organizations.

Taking a thematic approach, Derek Urwin addresses the major political and economic developments in Western Europe since world War II, including the political consequences of the end of the Cold War, and the troubled progress of European integration since Maastricht.

This hugely successful history of political and economic integration in Western Europe since the Second World War - and especially, but by no means exclusively, the European Community itself - was first published in 1991, to general acclaim. This edition is fully revised to take account of the developments since 1991.
