'The articles collected in this volume provide convincing proof of the potential of the externl governance approach proposed by Lavenex and Schimmelfennig, especially because of the strong empirical foundation of the case studies. Both researchers interested in a powerful approach to studying the EU's impact abroad and those looking for an assessment of the EU's influence on the specific areas studied will find this book valuable reading.' - Miguel Haubrich-Seco, The International Spectator, Vol. 46, 3, September 2011
