-Magone provides a detailed and rich description of the structures that unions face at the European level and presents a useful account of the existing attempts of unions to respond to this relatively new environment. For this reason, his book is well worth reading not only for readers interested in Iberian trade unionism, but also for those interested in the effects of European integration on unions in general.- --Industrial and Labor Relations Review -A useful overview of present developments and is recommended for European economics and political science collections at the graduate and research levels.- --Choice -This book covers important and interesting ground. Its greatest contribution is empirical: It provides a wealth of information on multilevel governance structures in the EU particularly Social Europe, and a valuable overview of the evolution of trade unionism in Portugal and Spain since democratization.- --Perspectives on Politics -Studies on trade unions within the European Union all too frequently tend to comment on developments within core economies, such as France, Germany, and Holland. Magone's work, which examines the Europeanization of Portuguese and Spanish trade unions, is therefore a welcome departure from this trend. . . . The book is informative and clearly structured.- --Emer O'Hagan, Queen's University, Belfast -This book offers a timely contribution to the literature concerned about the effects of the European integration process on trade unions in Southern Europe. . . . [T]his book is recommended reading. . . . [I]t raises interesting theoretical ideas . . . [and] offers valuable insights.- --Raj S. Chari, West European Politics
