Media Reviews
With great uncertainty still about the UK's future relationship with the EU, this is an excellent and timely contribution to the debate. Michael Keating Professor of Politics, University of Aberdeen, and Director, Centre on Constitutional Change For the UK, the Norway option for Brexit remains a live issue, and one about which there remains a lack of information. Few authors are as well qualified as Fossum and Graver to provide that information in what will undoubtedly be a `must read' book. Jo Shaw, Salvesen Chair of European Institutions, School of Law, University of Edinburgh As the UK negotiates Brexit the so-called Norway Model can teach us a great deal about how to forge a productive relationship with Europe and reunite our divided country. The authors' expertise and first-hand experience make this book essential reading. Stephen Kinnock MP for Aberavon and Member of the Exiting the European Union Select Committee The first detailed assessment of the Norway model and how it might work for Britain. This timely book should inform the entire Brexit debate. John Peet, The Economist This book is a must-read for those keen on finding a solution to the UK's desire to be close to, but not part of, the European Union. The Norway model may provide the only answer. Tom Brake, MP for Carshalton and Wallington
