Everyone interested in the European Union, from students to established scholars, will benefit from this clear, faithful, and comprehensive survey.' - Craig Parsons, University of Oregon, USA 'As the study of the EU is becoming increasingly specialized and compartmentalized, this book accomplishes two seemingly impossible quests: it offers a comprehensive and contextualized but - at the same time - concise and highly readable account of the various theories and frameworks that allow us to capture the multifaceted quality of the EU; but, even more admirably, Saurugger convincingly shows that the study of the EU has been at its most innovative when scholars have abandoned their cosy sub-disciplinary homes to look for inspiration in other disciplinary turfs. What a tour de force!' - Berthold Rittberger, University of Munich, Germany.
