Stimmen zu »Politics of European Integration«

"All in all, the book provides a broad overview ofEuropean integration and strives to fill the gaps left by existingtextbooks." (JCMS: Journal of Common MarketStudies, 17 December 2014) "Glencross's excellent textbook stands out for itsinter-disciplinary approach and its ability to take on topics thatother textbooks often ignore. His chapter on the EU in comparativeperspective is particularly welcome. It has the broad scopeexpected of a textbook but is also very intellectually rigorous...This is a must read for all students of Europeanintegration". --Christopher Bickerton, University ofCambridge "I highly recommend this very informative and verythoughtful book on the European Union. Based on a deep and detailedknowledge of the process of integration, the book re-frames in acritical way the debate aimed at interpreting that process, anddeals with European integration in the future. This is a tour deforce from Glencross, ending with a highly original analysis of theeuro crisis and its implications for the EU." --Sergio Fabbrini, Luiss School of Government inRome
