Reviews

'...a fascinating and impressive overview of different approaches and research directions on the Commission and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of this institution.' - Ulrich Sedelmeier, Regional Studies '...an important addition...this is an excellent book which could be very useful for students of European integration but also for policy practitioners.' - Christian Lequesne, West European Politics 'This is an excellent book. At a time when reform of EU institutions is high on the EU agenda, such a high quality and detailed examination of the Commission is very welcome indeed...'. - John Redmond, Political Studies 'It is a treasure-trove of essays on all aspects of the Commission... this is an excellent book...'. Stephen George, University Association for Contemporary European Studies book reviews
