'For those (including myself) who thought that federalism on a European scale was a dead letter (or wished it so), this book could change your mind. Its thesis is bold: the EU is already a state with a federal regime - albeit unique in both senses. Agree with them or not, the authors of this unusually coherent collection of essays make a strong case for the need to use federalist theory to comprehend the future of European integration.' Philippe C. Schmitter, European University Institute, Italy 'This is not just another collective volume on the European Union but a theoretically integrated joint venture of Danish and German scholars with a clear hypothesis about the budding asymmetrical federalism in Europe!' Klaus von Beyme, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat, Germany '...this work allows the reader to reflect on the question of what the European Union is and if it is truly on its way to becoming a federation. This is not the least of the book's merits.' Etudes Internationales 'The writing is interesting, the topics are pertinent to contemporary Europe and its relationship with the member-states and citizens, and the conclusions are fascinating. In all, Dosenrode's work helps the reader understand that the EU - as a federation- is relevant.' European Legacy
