Inhaltsangabe

This book seeks to explain EU decision-making and identify the most important factors influencing this process. Arne Niemann develops a fresh approach to the classic neofunctionalist theory of European integration and assesses his framework on case studies in three important policy areas: EU aid, trade policy, asylum and immigration.

Críticas:

Review of the hardback: 'A major contribution to the 'theory-grounded' literature on European integration. This should become an 'incontourable' reference for all serious students of the process.' Philippe Schmitter, European University Institute, Italy

Review of the hardback: 'With this concise book Arne Niemann provides a refreshingly new assessment and important further development of neofunctionalism as a long-term grand theory in European integration studies. The work succeeds admirably in presenting a much debated and not entirely uncontested theoretical approach in an exciting and most convincing way. The strength of Niemann's excellent contribution lies in theorising 'countervailing forces' based on a dialectical approach, and in sustaining this important theoretical innovation by thorough and extensive empirical research. This book will prove a landmark for theoretical debates in European integration and regional integration more generally; in addition, it is highly recommended as required reading on classes that address integration theories.' Antje Wiener, Queens University Belfast
