The Europeanization of America provides a thorough and accessible examination of the European Community's progress toward "union" from legal, economic, and public policy perspectives. Presuming a distinctly American audience, Fischer has taken great pains to explain specific events, the EU's long-term goals, and its potential to achieve them in terms that Americans can relate to and understand.

The book is highly readable, using references to laws, case decisions, and the programs and policies of the European Union to illustrate its operations, aims, and prospects for the future. It is truly a "must read" for anyone in business, economics, law, or any other area who wants to understand the crucial events in Europe and their potential impact on America.
