Media Reviews

'The EU is once again in transformation, experimenting with reforms of its internal and external governance in response to the Euro crisis. No one knows yet how this reform process will play out, but its consequences are sure to be momentous, not only for the EU itself, but also for the wider global order. To analyze these developments, Rodrigues and Xiarchogiannopolou have assembled a stellar group of scholars, whose kaleidoscopic reflections will be of compelling interest to anyone concerned with the future of European governance.'Jonathan Zeitlin, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands'Connecting the Euro crisis and EU governance issues, this book is as timely as socialscience volumes get!'Gerda Falkner, University of Vienna, Austria
