This major new statement from a leading European scholar provides a trenchant analysis of the pitfalls and ambiguities of 50 years of European integration, without losing sight of its benefits. Majone assesses the future of Europe after the new Constitutional Treaty, before controversially concluding that the EU has failed as a would-be federation, but has a chance of becoming an effective confederation of sovereign states.

Covers synthesis, structure, properties and applications Strategies for characterizing and synthesizing PDCs Original research on preceramic PDC precursors This book presents the foundations of the science of polymer derived ceramics, enriched with many descriptions of applications. Written by a team of selected researchers, the text is a systematic, comprehensive introduction to all phases of polymer derived ceramics from synthesis strategies through properties measurement, and applications. New material is given on the nanolevel structure of PDCs, and it is shown how nanosized modificatio
