Conclusion: The Future of a United Europe and Theoretical Considerations Appendix Notes References IndexReviews"""The book takes on an important question in EU politics. Many, if not most, studies on the EU 'end' with the adoption of a particular agreement at the level of the Community, and fail to trace the legislative record of implementation to the level of member states. This book looks in detail at two specific directives and chronicles the difficult path to implementation. It thus gives a greater feel for just how hard it is to create a single market in Europe, given all the vested interests that are threatened by that project."" - Steven Weber, University of California, Berkeley ""The straightforward empirical testing of these hypotheses and the conclusions are important achievements of empirical analytic work in the realm of implementation of EU directives. This is a stimulating example of very good normal science."" - Michael Zuern, University of Bremen" The book takes on an important question in EU politics.
