Reviews

Much has been written on the Euro crisis over the last few years but most has had a reactive, breathless quality. This collection, featuring some of the most established scholars on European integration and some interesting new thinkers, is the best attempt yet to situate the crisis, and all possible responses to the crisis, squarely within the broader legal, political, economic and historical context of European supranationalism. It is a book that all serious EU scholars should have on their shelves, and also a fascinating and accessible resource for those seeking to learn about contemporary Europe and its tribulations. - Neil Walker, University of Edinburgh, UK A choral volume rich in insights where the reader will find genuinely different diagnoses of the European crises from a wealth of disciplinary and normative viewpoints. A powerful challenge to the status quo on European studies. - Agustin Jose Menendez, University of Leon, Spain, and ARENA, University of Oslo, Norway This book provides an inter-disciplinary, multi-national, trans-generational account of the state of the Union. The multi-faceted pluralism has its common inspirational background in the work of the Helsinki Centre of Excellence in the Foundations of European Law. It is both an accomplishment of and a tribute to the Centre's renowned Director, Kaarlo Tuori. - Christian Joerges, Hertie School of Governance, Germany
