Reviews

Consisting of a series of thought-provoking analyses by distinguished scholars, this volume situates Spinelli's thought and actions within both a comparative and contemporary framework. The complex tensions which inform the relationship between federalism, constitutionalism, and functionalism in the European Union are crisply delineated such that both scholars and practitioners will profit from viewing Spinelli's legacy anew.--Sbragia, Alberta
