Reviews

'The book's structure assists in its overall effectiveness in analyzing the complexities and challenges of the Lisbon Agenda. The presentation is clear and the style is generally quite lively, even for readers unfamiliar with the thematic. Thanks to the diversity of academic and cultural backgrounds of the authors, the book manages to strike a balance between political, sociological and economic analyzes. As such, the interdisciplinary approach is refreshingly welcome as it is reflecting the general philosophy of the Lisbon Agenda and provides a more in-depth analysis of each dimension of the Lisbon Strategy.' -- Vivien Sierens, Central European Journal of International and Security Studies 'This edited volume by Maria Joao Rodrigues is a welcome addition to the existing body of literature on the European Union (EU). The book focuses on the implementation of the Lisbon Agenda and its implications for European internal policies, for EU external actions and for the EU governance system... the book, while useful for anyone who wants to read a general overview of the Lisbon Agenda and its political significance, is also highly recommended to policy-makers and practitioners interested in evaluating the achievements of the Agenda to date and analysing possible options for the future.' -- Journal of Contemporary Studies
