The European Union is an area of rapid development related both to internal reforms as well as external challenges. Sectoral policies spill over into new thematic areas and are the subjects of new regulations as well as growing institutionalization. On the other hand the politics of the EU are changing due to deepening integration and territorial enlargements as well as new external factors. Consequently the EU is in the process of permanent change, visible both in policies and politics. The purpose of this volume is to analyze different examples and interrelations between EU policies and EU politics in various fields of study. This publication continues the research in the field of European integration conducted by the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism at the Adam Mickiewicz University together with partner universities and scholars from different European academic centers. It contains texts from nine authors representing five academic institutions from Armenia, Luxemburg, Norway and Poland. Opis stanowi fragment Wstępu
