Developments in European Politics 3

Reviews / Votes

This volume will be indispensable for students wanting to understand recent developments in European politics as they relate to each other. This is an imaginative renewal of the Developments in European Politics series to meet the changing political times. * Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy, University of Cambridge, UK * The third, and entirely fresh, edition of Developments in European Politics breaks Europe's fast-paced politics down into digestible themes. Each theme is fundamental, informed by state-of-the-art research, and presented in crisp language. This book will be an indispensable resource for undergraduates, graduates, and teachers of European politics. * Liesbet Hooghe, Professor of Political Science, European University Institute, Italy, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA * EU scholars and teachers will find no better book to turn to in order to explore the vastly changed landscape of European politics in the last decade. The brilliance of this first ever all-female cast brought together by Anghel and Jones lies in their capacity collectively to combine rigorous and theoretically informed analysis, critical engagement with existing scholarship, a forward looking gaze, and perhaps most importantly a focus on those who for too long have remained the unsung main character in our European saga - the citizens. * Kalypso Nicolaidis, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford, UK * A superb addition to the Developments in European Politics canon. With talented authors and insightful contributions, this volume updates and builds on longstanding debates in the field as well as extending the discussion into gendered dimensions and the role of informal institutions. A must read for scholars of the EU. * Laura Cram, Professor of European Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK * This is a much-needed resource for any student of politics, sociology or international relations interested in the contemporary politics of Europe. The book is exceptional in its broad coverage and topicality, written in an accessible way that will be valued by lecturers and students alike. * Vlastimil Havlik, Associate Professor, Masaryk University, Czech Republic * Exploring the most significant challenges Europe is facing today, this (almost) female only volume takes the reader on a wild ride across time and European space. The result is a thought-provoking state of the art account of developments in European politics up to the present. * Dorothee Bohle, Professor of Comparative Political Science, University of Vienna, Austria * This book provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the key discussions and debates in contemporary European politics, and will be of significant use for anyone seeking to explore the political dynamics shaping Europe today. * Graham Timmins, Reader in International Politics, University of Birmingham, UK * A vital introduction to the major issues and cleavages of twenty-first century European politics. * Luke Cooper, Senior Research Fellow, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK *
