From Communists to Foreign Capitalists: The Social Foundations of Foreign Direct Investment in Postsocialist Europe
I also had to read this book as my professor, Dr. Dinan, was rewriting it, or should I updating it. The Lisbon Treaty had just been put into place in the European Union States and he had to explain what changes were made. This book more about the history and governmental structure of the EU. Once one reads the book, the EU is definitely clear as to why everything is done the way it is today. It is a very complicated subjected I must. Yet very intriguing.
