served as special adviser to the former President of the European
Commission. A public intellectual, he has for long been actively
engaged in the European policy debate.
`This volume by a leading scholar of European integration could not
be timelier... The analysis of the political, economic and social
causes and consequences of the crisis is sharp and all of the key
factors are identified and discussed. [It] does not shy away from
the big questions of integration. This is one of the great
strengths of the volume ... [that] finds its roots in an older
literature on the EU that sought to understand the nature of
the
beast.'
Brigid Laffan, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced
Studies, European University Institute, Florence in Journal of
Common Market Studies

European.'
Herman van Rompuy, former President of the European Council
`A deeply insightful book.'
Enrico Letta, former Prime Minister of Italy

analyses.'
Fritz W. Scharpf, Max Planck Institute
`As ever thoughtful and thought-provoking, Loukas Tsoukalis prompts
us to re-examine the fundamentals of contemporary European
integration.'
Dame Helen Wallace
