... a remarkable collection of thought-provoking contributions
about the most important themes within the study of European
integration. Its analytical breadth and scope make it both a
pleasure and a necessity to read for any scholar in EU affairs. For
students interested in the process of European integration or the
inner workings of the Union, the Oxford Handbook of the European
Union ... is a must.
*Catherine E. de Vries, Oxford University*
The Handbook can help the educated reader to achieve clarity by
providing a very complete overview of what the European Union is
and how it works. Of course, such an extremely comprehensive
800-page volume can be daunting as a first read for
non-specialists, but the Handbook can be an interesting and
informative read for them too. Giulia Pastorella, LSE Review of
Books
