can anyone reccmmend some books on European politics

[LSK]

And economics?

I found this one:
The United States of Europe : The New Superpower and the End of American Supremacy (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143036084/qid=1136594074/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/002-7716851-8668855?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

Any other recommendations?

That books does not seem intended to convey an objective and neutral view on Europe. A simple textbook might be a better place to start than a position work.

It is not like there is an easy way to look at European politics, as those are rather complicated: the EU presidency, commission, parliament and the - unrelated - European council.

But those are just the tip of the iceberg, underneath are the national politics - each of the 25 (plus Switzerland etc....) has a complicated political tradition and present on its own.

So, I would check the reading lists of college pol-sci courses for interesting introductions.
