This remarkably well-written edited volume fills a gap in the literature by providing a solid account of the EU integration crisis. It is an essential guide especially for political science, international relations and economics students, as well as EU scholars and practitioners at EU and national levels to better understand and analyze the EU integration crisis case by case and in toto from different perspectives.

"A brilliant book for understanding the European Union's crises. It shows the necessity of analyzing the politics of member states and the total artificiality of establishing barriers between EU studies and comparative politics." (Professor Christian Lequesne, Sciences Po, Paris, France) "Brings together in one book a wide range of perspectives on and insights into the European Union's varied crises. It will be extremely useful for students of the EU as they struggle to understand the challenges facing European integration in the first decades of the twenty-first century." - Michelle Cini, University of Bristol, UK "An authoritative account of the multiple and severe challenges now confronting the European integration project. Measured in its analysis, the volume nonetheless explodes the notion of a linear march toward 'ever closer union'." - Mitchell P. Smith, The University of Oregon, USA "A brilliant book for understading the European Union's crises. It shows the necessity of analyzing the politics of member states and the total artificiality of establishing barriers between EU studies and compartive politics" - Christian Lequesne, Sciences Po, Paris, France
