Reviews

The financial and economic crisis of 2008 provoked a political earthquake in the European Union, affecting EU institutions, member states, and the citizens of Europe in dramatic fashion. The European Union beyond the Crisis: Evolving Governance, Contested Policies, Disenchanted Publics is remarkable in its ability to analyze how the interdependence and tensions between EU governing structures, national governments, and citizens impacted the policy responses to the crisis. In that respect, it goes beyond rehearsed discussions around multi-level governance or the democratic deficit in the European Union and represents a very welcome addition to the literature on EU politics and policymaking. -- Sebastien Lazardeux, St. John Fisher College This large collection of essays offers both the essential background and a challenge to those interested in understanding the consequences of the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 for European governance. It provides fresh insight into the long-standing questions of political trust and democratic legitimacy in times of crisis. The theoretical claims are substantiated by detailed cases studies and sophisticated analyses of public opinion. There is no doubt this will be seen as an exciting contribution to the literature on European politics and beyond. -- Jana Grittersova, University of California, Riverside
