Description:
"Beyond the Spanish State is a study of EU policy-making in Spain. From the fishermen in Andalusia fighting to protect their quotas, to regional governments demanding a greater say in EU structural funds, it offers an in-depth exploration of the dynamic relations between central government and other actors. The book reveals a wealth of interactive processes between central government, domestic actors and the EU, but concludes that the central state has retained a key position in the policy process. The strength of Beyond the Spanish State is that it offers original empirical material and new insights into issues which have rarely been problematized in the Spanish case, while also providing an analysis of the changing policy process in a broader EU framework."--Jacket.
