Recenzje

How it has morphed through seventy years of committees, changing names and structures, accessions of new members, successive treaties, evolving capacities, and its current existential tensions? Kiran Klaus Patel's Project Europe is the essential institutional history and user's manual for making it as clear as it can ever be.' Charles S. Maier, author of Once within Borders: Territories of Power, Wealth, and Belonging
