This remarkably well-written edited volume fills a gap in the literature by providing a solid account of the EU integration crisis. It is an essential guide especially for political science, international relations and economics students, as well as EU scholars and practitioners at EU and national levels to better understand and analyze the EU integration crisis case by case and in toto from different perspectives.
