Praise for the third edition"The third edition of European Politics stands out in several ways. It is organized by themes instead of countries. The various chapters focus on the relationship between the European Union and its member states, covering East and West, and looks beyond Europe. Finally, the book deals with the major challenges European politics has been facing in the past years, including separatism, national populism, mass migration, and the COVID-19 pandemic."Tanja A. Börzel, Freie Universität Berlin, GermanyPraise for this edition“Professor Kubicek’s revised edition remains one of the most sophisticated and student-centered introductions to European politics available. Its thematic approach continues to encourage thoughtful comparison and analysis, while the updated content—ranging from Brexit and COVID-19 to the rise of illiberalism and the war in Ukraine—ensures that students engage with the most urgent challenges facing Europe today. The new concluding chapter provides a valuable framework for thinking critically about Europe’s uncertain future.”Patrick H. O’Neil, University of Puget Sound, USA“Paul Kubicek covers all the key issues surrounding European Union integration, carefully examining the historical evolution of EU institutions, policies, and enlargement and the deepening of regional integration. Comparing the European experience to non-EU states provides valuable information to readers about how unique it is and the challenges its members currently face. Overall, this volume is a significant contribution to the literature and students of European Studies.”Birol Yeşilada, Portland State University, USA
