Reviews

The book's contribution to constitutional debates is theoretically ambitious. It transverses Marxist and critical approaches to constitutionalism with EU law, and as such is recommended to everyone interested in European constitutionalism. -- Tomi Tuominen * Common Market Law Review * Maria Tzanakopoulou's book provides an original contribution to the discussion on the role of sovereign nation-states in a time of increasing extraterritorial challenges and the growing significance of non-state actors in world politics. -- David Gazsi, King's College London * Journal of Common Market Studies *
