Recenzje

'This exciting new book studies the European Union by incorporating the many challenges that it is facing, in a host of policy-making areas, whether they be the Brexit, politicization of European integration, or the legacies of the migration and financial crises. It also examines the ongoing issues ahead: differentiation, social inequalities and what the EU can do to improve global governance. This much-awaited book provides a novel take on European integration in the current challenging times and is bound to become a very important must-read book for students, researchers and practitioners.' Amy Verdun, Professor of Political Science, University of Victoria
