Reviews

'Provides a valuable and thorough analysis of this controversial theme in the study of European politics. With original contributions that examine the state of the art from multiple perspectives, this book is a major undertaking that is likely to provide the benchmark for studies of Europeanization for years to come.' - John McCormick, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, USA '...this is by far the most comprehensive review of Europenisation studies in the field. This editied volume is compulsory reading for students of the EU; it is informative and clearly structured and its chapters are written by authorities in the field of Europeanisation research. It is exceptional to find an edited volume where the quality of contributions is consistently high.' - Michael Kaeding, Political Studies Review
