Reviews

This is an exceptionally well edited book with top contributors from three continents. It brings economic sociology of the finest kind by carefully combining explanations from political economy, institutionalism, as well as interest group and cultural value research. A remarkable tour de force on the European Union's drive for standardization through its trade policy in a globalising world. * Dirk De Bi`evre, Professor of International Politics, University of Antwerp * Standardizing the World not only provides a comprehensive account of how the EU tries to use standards in its preferential trade agreements but also shows when such efforts succeed or, perhaps more importantly, when they do not. A must read for anyone interested in non tariff barriers to international trade. * Gabriele Spilker, Professor of International Politics, University of Konstanz *
