Media Reviews
Review from previous edition This is a unique product in the crowded field of European Integration...The book is a milestone in moving the field beyond sterile theoretical divides and towards a more holistic approach to theory-building. * Kalypso Nicolaidis, St Anthony's College, Oxford *
No single volume provides as comprehensive an overview of theories of the politics and international relations of the European Union...The volume provides an up-to-date review of the field, and provokes the reader by suggesting weaknesses as well as strengths of the chief approaches. * Gary Marks, University of North Carolina *
