This cutting edge handbook presents the main theoretical and empirical issues involved in current Europeanization research. As a critical review of the state of the art it evaluates the achievements and shortcomings of the growing Europeanization literature. As a reference book at advanced level it sets the parameters for Europeanization research in the coming years. All twenty-five chapters are written by the foremost authoritative scholars in the field.
'This fine volume opens up new dimensions of research on the processes of Europeanization. The editors set the theme broadly in order to capture as wide a range as possible of forms of domestic adaptation to European integration. The nicely balanced mix of chapters on political processes and policy developments enable the volume to make rich empirical and analytical contributions to the debate.' - Helen Wallace, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Italy
'This handbook provides an excellent overview of the Europeanization literature. Its chapters are written by authorities in the field of Europeanization research, covering an impressively broad range of theoretical and empirical topics in an accessible fashion.' - Michelle Cini, Jean Monnet Senior Lecturer in European Community Studies, University of Bristol, UK
'Provides a valuable and thorough analysis of this controversial theme in the study of European politics. With original contributions that examine the state of the art from multiple perspectives, this book is a major undertaking that is likely to provide the benchmark for studies of Europeanization for years to come.' - John McCormick, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, USA
'...this is by far the most comprehensive review of Europenisation studies in the field. This editied volume is compulsory reading for students of the EU; it is informative and clearly structured and its chapters are written by authorities in the field of Europeanisation research. It is exceptional to find an edited volume where the quality of contributions is consistently high.' - Michael Kaeding, Political Studies Review
'All in all, a book that ought to be on the shelf of anyone preparing to engage in Europeanization research.' - Robert Ladrech, Journal of Common Market Studies
