This edition makes it even better, incorporating as it does new material about the Cold War and up-dating to include subsequent developments.

Today their priorities are poles apart.

Voor veel mensen is het lastig grip te krijgen op de Europese Unie: wat gebeurt daar en hoe kun je hier invloed op uitoefenen? Je hoeft de televisie maar aan te zetten en je hoort politici beweren dat ‘Brussel’ iets heeft besloten over onze natuurgebieden, het klimaat of de economie. Zo lijkt het vaak alsof de EU maatregelen neemt waar we helemaal geen invloed op hebben. Dat is niet waar, maar hoe gaat het dan wel?

In Retourtje Brussel praten Chris Aalberts en Mendeltje van Keulen met Ned...
