Recensioner i media

This second edition of Theorizing European Integration is much more than an updating of the original. It also develops the author’s own special insights into the character of the European Union in particular with regard to the concept of synarchy… The book is a major addition to understanding the regional integration of states.’ - Paul Taylor, Professor Emeritus of International Relations, London School of Economics, UK‘Chryssochoou approaches theorising as an indispensable tool for understanding the integration of Europe and in this second edition continues his search for reliable theory to help our understanding of the EU and the challenges to its development as a polity… It remains an intellectual tour de force, an exceptionally good guide to theories of integration.’ - Geoffrey Edwards, Jean Monnet Professor of Political Science, University of Cambridge, UK ‘Chryssochoou’s book is a sophisticated analysis of the development of integration theory, but his is also an impassionate defence of a particular conception of European integration, which blends together in an original way republican and post-statist categories of politics.’ - Dario Castiglione, Reader in Political Theory, University of Exeter, UK‘Chryssochoou offers an excellent one stop shop of the different theoretical approaches to understanding the EU, indicating the appropriate topics and levels of analysis to which they might be best applied.’ - Richard Bellamy, Professor of Political Science, University College London, UK
