“The book helps us to understand more about a concrete issue of European integration in a specific period. It is well structured and very well documented with a variety of sources. It is of interest to EU studies scholars and to the general public interested in the history of the EU.” (Alice Cunha, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 57 (6), November, 2019)
