Reviews

Apart from the impressive data collection effort and quantitative analysis to support his arguments, the author has interviewed a few dozen MEPs to help make sense of the results and to analyse in more depth three national delegations: France, Germany and Poland ... an otherwise innovative, clear and highly comprehensive study on the career behaviour of MEPs. Sara Reis, LSE Blog Empirically, the merits of the book are many. The longitudinal account of the career behaviours is based on an impressive dataset, containing background information on all elected MEPs from 1979 to 2014. It is completed by and checked against a more cross-sectional analysis in three countries, considering the profiles of outgoing and incoming MEPs in France, Germany and Poland in 2014...the book makes a most valuable contribution to our understanding of career behaviours at the supranational level, and will undeniably be of serious interest to students and scholars concerned with the EP, and beyond.
