Focusing on the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, Building States without Society highlights the real limits of cross-national rule transfer even when power is uneven between rule-makers and rule-takers. Tracing the role of labor and other non-state actors in transferring rules, Beate Sissenich shows the persistent relevance of national politics, specifically state capacity and interest organizations. Social network analysis demonstrates that even in a highly integrated Europe, state borders continue to structure communications.

Building States Without Society provides a timely analysis highlighting the pitfalls of the EU's top-down policy transfer to the new member states and the liabilities this might create for compliance with EU policies. By systematically studying transnational networks, twinning interest mediation, Beate Sissenich significantly adds to our understanding of the micro- and meso-politics of international rule transfer.
