Review
Reviews of previous edition:
«Hix’s admirably lucid exposition melds state-of-the-art theory and rich empirical detail into what is likely to become the leading text on how the European Union’s everyday political process actually works.»–Andrew Moravcsik, Harvard University
«This volume has a rare combination of virtues: accessible for students and required reading for EU scholars.»–Gary Marks, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
«The best textbook on the European Union to date. Period.»–George Tsebelis, UCLA
«Simon Hix has produced a book which does many things and does them well. [It] offers both a valuable tool box for the study of the EU and a very up to date and stimulating set of blueprints to help us use them.»–Clive H. Church, Political Studies
