<p> Playing the Market is a response to those who doubt that social science has something to contribute to understanding the building of Europe. French Politics, Culture & Society

In Playing the Market Nicolas Jabko shows how the European Commission sold the notion of 'the market' as meaning different things to different audiences. To economic interests the market was sold as a constraint and as an emerging norm of regulation; to national governments the market was sold as both a space for development and as a way of strengthening economic autonomy in an era of globalization. By framing the European project in this way, Jabko shows how the Commission was able to promote institutional change in a variety of areas and on a scale far greater than one would predict given their relative power. Bridging rationalism and constructivism, Playing the Market is an excellent piece of scholarship. -Mark Blyth, The Johns Hopkins University
