'This book transcends the now problematic divide betweenrepresentational and practical approaches to understandinggeopolitical relations. More specifically, much research on the EUtends to focus more on the formal workings of the institutions andrarely penetrates the corridors of power to consider what actuallyhappens within the bureaucracy itself. The book is to be welcomedas a contribution to theoretical debate in human geography and as asignificant contribution to EU Studies.'
--John Agnew, UCLA
'In contrast to the oceans of generalization about theEuropean Union, here is a high-resolution study of the balance ofinterests and power based on years of face-to-face interactionswith diplomats and Eurocrats who inhabit Brussels' EuropeanQuarter.'
--James D Sidaway, National University of Singapore
