European Political Economy is a 'must read' for students, and an essential starting point for anyone hoping to join the conversation about how to tackle the most important challenges facing the European Union.] * Erik Jones, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute *
This is the first EPE textbook to bring together theoretically informed and empirically-rich answers written by key experts in the field. * Vivien Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration, Boston University *
This textbook does an excellent job in summarising the most important academic and policy debates in the field, providing an essential resource for every student interested in European Political Economy. Most importantly, its practical approach to theories shows how intertwined the academic and the European policy worlds are. * Amy Verdun, Professor of Political Science, University of Victoria and Leiden University *
An excellent textbook that applies comparative and international political economic analysis to shed light on both the historical trajectory and the current challenges facing European integration. It skillfully combines different theoretical perspectives (Open Economy Politics, Growth Models, Ideational Frameworks, and Critical and Feminist Political Economy). The book clearly fills a gap. It will be an invaluable resource for both students and scholars in Political Economy and European Integration. * Lucio Baccaro, Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute, Cologne *
