About this book
Reviews
"This outstanding study addresses a neglected niche in policy analysis: the impact of Europeanization on civil society in member states. Using Ireland and Malta as the focus, the author cleverly explores how interest groups in these two states have responded to EU membership. Furthermore, his rigorous methodology should serve as a model for similar studies on the impact of aspects of Europeanization in other member states." - Godfrey A. Pirotta, Professor of Government and Policy Studies, University of Malta
"This book provides a cutting-edge comparative analysis of interest group adaptation in Ireland and Malta, addressing both gaps. Its innovative methods and empirical findings will be of interest to all students of Europeanization." - Simon Bulmer, Professor of European Politics, University of Sheffield, UK
