Reviews

'Especially after the Great Depression of 2008 and later on with the Pandemic, Southern Europe has become an area of high interest again, as in the years of the transitions to democracy during the 1970s. Today, Southern European countries' crucial issue concerns the European Union's relationships, especially from an economic perspective. Professor Magone, a highly renowned expert of the area, addresses it by dissecting those relationships' decisive aspects and revealing the critical features. This book will be compulsory reading not only for scholars and students of the area but also for all those other experts who are interested in internal-external intertwining in semi-peripheral democracies.' -- Leonardo Morlino, LUISS Guido Carli, Italy 'Despite his criticisms of the EU for mismanaging the Eurozone crisis, the author underlines the responsibilities of South European governments too. South European elites have not invested in the people of Southern Europe and have governmentalized policy networks which ideally should have been multi-level rather than government-centered, as the author correctly puts it. Consequently, his claim that the question is what Southern Europe can do for the EU , rather than vice versa, is a point well taken.' -- Dimitri A. Sotiropoulos, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece
