Theories of European Integration Exkluzív ajánlat

ďťż”An extremely impressive interpretative account of twentieth-century theorizing about European integration which provides much-needed elucidation of a very complex and contentious area. Meticulous and exhaustive while being eminently readable, Ben Rosamond’s book is essential reading for all courses on regional integration and a must for all scholars with an interest in contemporary Europe.” – (Glenda G. Rosenthal, Columbia University) „This robust and fluent volume fills a longstanding gap in the literature. Ben Rosamond neatly combines a „cartography” of established integration theories with a thoughtful critique of new approaches.” – (Helen Wallace, University of Sussex) „Ben Rosamond has written a timely book that will be of interest to all students of European integration. Rosamond’s intelligent critical analysis makes a very fine contribution to this dynamic field.” – (Gary Marks, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) „An impeccably balanced account…. The author’s exposition of his material is extremely clear…. As well as giving a rounded and penetrating presentation of the whole range of Euro-theories… (he sets) each theoretical school within the historical context which helped to shape it…. Strongly recommended to beginners and old hands alike.” – (Roger Morgan, Government ami Opposition) „…essential reading for students and scholars.” – (Christoph KniII, Public Administration) „… A truly fascinating and enlightening read….The study of European Integration has been lacking an up-to-date textbook on its theories for far too long. Now it has one, and a brilliant one at that.” – (Thomas Diez, Millennium) „Not only fills a longstanding gap in the literature impressively, it also provides an excellent appreciation of theory in studying the EU and makes an important contribution to the ongoing debates.” – (Ulrich Sedelmeier, West European Politics) „…Ljucid, fair and crisp throughout…. Rosamond offers a reliable guide through the jungle of theories in the field.” – (Stanley Hoffmann, Foreign Affairs) „…well-informed and comprehensive survey of theorising on the politics of the EU.” – (Kevin Featherstone, The Times Higher Education Supplement) Ben Rosamond is Eecturer in Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick.
