Reviews

For the 50th anniversary of the Elysee Treaty, Ulrich Krotz and Joachim Schild have provided all students of European and international politics with a special gifta theoretically highly original, empirically rich, and historically informed analysis of Europes most important relationship. This splendid book invites us to explore embedded bilateralism as a distinctive type of international relations. The rewards are fully commensurate with the political occasion this book marks. Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University


Krotz and Schild make a powerful argument within the book that institutions matter, which should make their study of great interest to scholars of European integration and International Relations... [They] have produced an excellent book, which will become the new standard text for students of Franco-German relations. Alister Miskimmon, International Affairs Das Verdienst des Buches von Krotz und Schild liegt... darin, dass es die interrelated reality of Franco-German bilateralism and multilateral European integration der vergangenen funfzig Jahre mit einem dezidiert politikwissenschaftlichen Forschungsansatz analysiert. Ulrich Lappenkuper, Humanities, Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte Krotz and Schild have done a great service in mapping the current and somewhat fraught Franco-German relationship onto its past ... the book is a careful and respectful piece of scholarship. Survival [A] stimulating study ... this significant work provokes reflection, and marks a valuable step forward in the study of the EU.

Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University Krotz and Schild provide a highly interesting and innovative study explaining the enduring bilateral relationship between France and Germany, and its impact on European integration. Rigorous in analysis and documentation, their book is particularly valuable because it highlights the multiple causes and effects of Franco-German embeddedness in Europe. Anne-Marie Le Gloannec, Research Director Centre dEtudes et de Recherches Internationales (CERI),Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques (Sciences-Po), Paris Many see the Euro-crisis revealing mounting tensions between Berlin and Paris. This remarkable book, covering a half century of Franco-German relations and European politics, reminds us that the obstacles faced by the two neighbors at the signing of the Elysee Treaty-and at various junctures since-while different, were no less politically momentous and historically significant than the challenges France and Germany encounter today.
