Routledge Value Politics in the European Union Book

Explore the complex dynamics of political conflict within the European Union through this academic study. Value Politics in the European Union: From Market to Culture and Back examines how values drive policy changes and shape political landscapes across the EU. Part of the Routledge Studies on Government and the European Union series, this text provides a deep look into how values operate in both market-related policies and identity, cultural, or morality-based policies. Using case studies and statistical data analysis, the research challenges the idea that cultural policies are the primary drivers of value-based conflict. Instead, it demonstrates the similarities between different policy areas, showing how values act as drivers for both change and continuity. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in international law, government studies, and the shifting political structures of the European Union.
