The Annual Review, produced in association with the Journal of Common Market Studies, covers the key developments in the European Union and its Member States in 1999. It contains analytical articles on key political, economic and legal issues in the EU by leading experts, together with a keynote article entitled "European defence, two cheers for Tony Blair" by John Roper of the University of Birmingham.

The Review, formerly entitled European Union Annual Review of Activities is the most up-to-date and authoritative source of information for those engaged in teaching and research or who are simply interested in the European Union. It includes an invaluable guide to EU documents and publications - and the various websites of the EU - together with a chronology of key events, and a list of all the books submitted to the Journal of Common Market Studies for review.
