About this book

This book focuses on the relationship between European integration, its outputs and national institutional and political settings. It explores the political mechanisms through which the EU plays a role in domestic social policy changes.

Reviews

"The reversal of the frequently adopted top-down approach to the study of the impact of Europe on domestic policy change represents the main strength of the book, which deserves its prominent place within the Europeanization literature." - Journal of Common Market Studies
