Reviews

An insightful analysis of how the single market actually affects businesses, unions, and governments and how responses to that impact vary cross-nationally. Based on exhaustive fieldwork, this original study sheds new light on how the process of European integration actually works 'on the ground'. --Alberta Sbragia, University of Pittsburgh Georg Menz's thorough analysis provides very interesting insights into the development of the Single Market. Alexandre Afonso, Swiss Political Science Review The publication of this book will mark a major step forward in our understanding of the contemporary development of the European political economy... More than this, the author succeeds in engaging with, and subjecting to critique, a series of assumptions underpinning existing analyses of the transformation of European capitalist systems. In doing so, we obtain a new understanding of the extent to which national varieties of European capitalism can maintain their distinctiveness in the face of new forces for regulatory reform coming from the EU supranational level. --Martin Rhodes, European University Institute
