Exploring the politics of the EU and the integration process through a lens of social (in)equality, Sexual Equality in an Integrated Europe keeps us current while offering a means of addressing state sovereignty, transnational power, intergovernmental prowess, transparency, and social change."--Jacket UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0711/2007013671-b.html ER -
