Reviews

Savage's book is an impressively researched and surprisingly engaging account of a relative arcane subject. It is a convincing application of delegation theory, used to reveal a hitherto unexplored but clearly crucial element in the complicated process leading to the start of EMU's stage III and the application of Stability and Growth Pact rules and Broad Economic Policy Guidelines which form the core of macroeconomic policy coordination in the Euor-zone. West European Politics The unique blend of legal and economic expertise, in combination with elite interviews and work shadowing, enables the book to come to an informed and seemingly logical conlusion. I can enthusiastically recommend this contribution to the ongoing debate on the EU's involvement in the harmonization of fiscal and monetary policies. Journal of Common Market Studies Savage's careful account of the politics of budgetary surveillance is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of how the EU works and the impact of EMU on budgetary practices in the member states. Perspectives on Politics James D. Savage's contribution to this debate could hardly be more timely... The author presents the first concise and in-depth analysis of the budgetary surveillance procedure and Eurostat's involvement in its implementation. Journal of Common Market Studies Savage presents his empirical evidence in a convincing and readable style...an extremely enlightening book. Political Studies Review
