'This volume is one to which anyone trying to make sense of the EU
of the early 21st century will return again and again. A terrific
line-up that combines diverse talents from North America and
Europe. Few books of this kind could live up to the billing
'definitive benchmark', but this one certainly does' - John
Peterson, University of Edinburgh 'A most useful book that can be
highly recommended. A strong analytical framework coupled with
unparalleled coverage of the major issues of the political science
research of the EU makes this volume a formidable tool for teaching
and a significant input to new scholarly research. It is both
relatively sophisticated and very accessible to graduate students
and advanced researchers. The clear writing style and the richness
of information presented will certainly make this book interesting
for non-academic readers' - Igor Vidacak, Institute for
International Relations, Zagreb - Journal of Common Market Studies
'An admirably comprehensive source book for those interested in how
the tools of political science inspire EU area studies. The editors
enlist leading researchers to synthesize the state of the art in
their field of expertise. The Handbook of European Union Politics
will be an indispensable intellectual resource for researchers,
teachers, and graduate students of the European Union' - Liesbet
Hooghe, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA 'Presents
an excellent overview of political science research on the EU. It
finds the right balance between establishing the state of the art
and pointing the reader to theoretical diversity. Highly
recommended for advanced students and scholars looking for quick
and solid orientation in a fragmented field - and for new ideas for
research' - Frank Schimmelfennig, ETH Zurich, Switzerland 'This is
a milestone in the study of EU politics. The authors include the
most knowledgeable practitioners in the field, and collectively
they provide a comprehensive and highly competent overview of the
state of theory and research on EU institutions, politics and
policies' - Fritz Scharpf, Max Planck Institute for the Study of
Societies, Germany The European Union (EU) poses quite profound
questions for scholars and students of the social and political
sciences. This benchmark handbook is designed to: - provide an
authoritative state-of-the art guide to the scope of the field
suitable for both established scholars and students of the EU -
reflect and contribute to the debates about the nature of the field
of EU studies and EU politics in particular - explore in detail the
development of the many approaches to the study of EU politics.
Divided into four sections, the Handbook focuses on theorizing
European integration; the EU as polity; politics and policy making
in the EU; and the EU and the international system. Its appeal will
reside not only in its comprehensive and authoritative coverage of
the field, but also in the quality of its contributors, and the
diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches included.
The resulting volume is a 'must have' for all scholars and advanced
students of the EU and European integration.
