Reviews

'This is the first in-depth study of the Committee of the Regions and its role in the European policy process. It is rooted in the theory of European integration, including the 'normative turn', and will be essential reading for students of multilevel European politics.'- Michael Keating, University of Aberdeen, UK;'Piattoni and Schonlau's innovative, careful, and multi-disciplinary analysis of the CoR helps us reconsider not only that institution but also EU democracy and governance. It deserves to be widely read by all who seek ways to improve EU governance or to understand the role of sub-state actors in EU politics'.- Alex Warleigh-Lack, Visiting Fellow, UNU-CRIS
