`This thoughtful and original critique of integration theories is a most welcome addition to the literature on the EU. Dimitris Chryssochoou's perceptive and thought-provoking analysis offers many original insights and will be a valuable reference tool for those interested in contemporary Europe' - Glenda G Rosenthal, Columbia University `An essential text for all serious students of the European Union... it produces sharp insights and a sense of the totality of what has been achieved' - Paul Taylor, London School of Economics and Political Science `This is a highly sophisticated exercise in theorizing about the European Union that splendidly achieves its objective... Chryssochoou has provided an exceptionally good guide, useful, shrewd and full of insight' - Geoffrey Edwards, Cambridge University
