Reviews
Emerson and his fellow authors deserve congratulations for producing a book that uses hard evidence to set out the arguments with clarity and common sense. * Financial Times * An absolutely invaluable resource for anyone concerned with Britain's evolving relationship with the European Union. -- Professor Lord Anthony Giddens, London School of Economics In the finest tradition of British pragmatism: a much needed injection of common sense and seriousness into the British debate on Europe. -- Francois Heisbourg, Fondation pour la Recherche Strategique, Paris This is a comprehensive and cogent analysis of the British government's review of EU competences. While the government was reluctant to draw conclusions from its own review, the CEPS researchers are bolder. -- Charles Grant, Director of the Centre for European Reform, London This extraordinarily fair-minded and balanced book is a myth-busting exercise of the best kind. Meticulously boiling down every single European policy field to its very essence, the authors (one of Europe's leading think tank teams) are replacing misperception and misrepresentation with sober facts and sound assessments. -- Jan Techau, Director of Carnegie Europe
