Reviews

'This is an important book for those interested in the political economy of southern Europe and Europeanization. Zartaloudis' expert analysis of employment policies in Greece and Portugal reaches beyond the narrow confines of the two countries and his insights are particularly valuable in the context of the ongoing Eurozone crisis and the questions around Europe's ability to forge a common path for its diverse member states.' - Professor Dimitris Papadimitriou, Director of the Manchester Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence (JMCE), Politics, University of Manchester, UK 'The role of soft policy coordination within the EU has been hotly debated. Through a rigorous comparative study, Zartaloudis confirms that soft external power is wielded, in a rather unexpected fashion, in two unlikely cases. This is a thought-provoking book for anyone interested in the EU, the South European social model, and policy-change mechanisms.' - Yannis Papadopoulos, Professor of Public Policy, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
