It does so by combining insights from European Political Economy; European Integration and governance studies; and, socio-legal studies in the European context.
Reviews / Votes
"Scientists working on governance will therefore find food for thought in this book. It can also be used by those who work in a more policy-oriented way because it tends to reduce the vagueness sometimes associated with governance. . This book definitely pulls it off, with each chapter successful in clarifying in its own way the definition of intermediary institutions, in identifying some of their limits, and in setting a future research agenda." (Anne Guisset, Transfer, Vol. 22 (3), August, 2016)
"Without doubt the strengths ofthe volume lie in its cross-disciplinary scope and decisive integration of the sociology of law into more traditional discussions of governance and political economy. . Furthermore, and in light of the dramatic evolution of the EU in the last decade . the volume is timely and will be of relevance for a number of debates about the EU. . this book is an important contribution in several key ways and deserves to be widely read." (Ian Bruff, Capital & Class, Vol. 40 (3), 2016)
