Reviews
'This edited volume addresses a broad variety of methodological challenges we may encounter when doing research on Europeanization. It is a welcome addition to the growing literature on both social science methods and Europeanization as the various contributions not only discuss the difficulties in establishing causality in a complex word, they also shed light on different strategies among which students of Europeanization may choose to master these challenges.'
- Tanja A. Börzel, Jean Monnet Chair and Director of the Center for European Integration, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
'Europeanization is a major preoccupation for scholars, policymakers, and citizens. This book wrestles with the question of causal inference implied in all claims about Europeanization, namely, how can one prove that the EU causes change in behavior on the part of member states or citizens of those states? A broad range of tools for causal analysis are laid out and their utility assessed, with a wealth of examples. This is important reading.'
- John Gerring, Professor of Political Science, Boston University, USA and author of Social Science Methodology: A Unified Framework, 2nd edition (2012)
'The most crucial issue of Europeanization is the veracity of its methodology. This is, therefore, a very timely and informative volume that addresses this agenda in an accessible and broadly-based manner. It will be core reading for scholars and studentsalike.'
- Kevin Featherstone, Chair of Contemporary Greek Studies and the Director of the Hellenic Observatory at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
