European Multi-Level Governance

Reviews / Votes

'This very interesting and comprehensive book should be found at the bookshelves of the scholars dealing with governance or European politics, or at least those of their assistants, students, think-tank leaders, and all others who are somehow connected with European governance. The book offers a wide and fairly deep view at governance research in Europe. . . I have not read any other book which gives such a wide multinational overview of this topic in a single publication.' -- VIt Skala, Central European Journal of Public Policy 'This is by far the most comprehensive account of the research undertaken on EU governance for almost two decades. This volume offers readers a unique review of the governance literature produced across Europe, and an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. It will prove indispensable to those who want to make sense of the changes under way in EU polity.' -- Renaud Dehousse, Centre for European Studies Sciences Po, Paris, France 'This volume is a "must read" for anyone interested in understanding the history and evolution of the concept of "governance" as applied to a multi-level European Union. Based on an impressive research project, this study will help scholars both in and outside of Europe understand why the study of EU governance - as well as its perceived importance - varies so widely across national boundaries. It is eye-opening.' -- Alberta Sbragia, European Union Center of Excellence / European Studies Center 'This ambitious stock-taking of research on EU governance provides rich insights into the different profiles of research across Europe. It identifies the variety of different national epistemic traditions and how these are evolving in response to the opportunities for scholars from across Europe to work with and to read each other.' -- Helen Wallace FBA, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
