'...as a study of the mechanics of adaptation and the formal relationship between Cyprus and the European Union, and as a reference for the technical aspects of accession, the work is extremely valuable. Likewise, as a case study of 'Europeanization', the work is undoubtedly a contribution to the academic literature. The author has provided a solid account of the main ways in which the Republic of Cyprus has sought to manage the process of accession and membership.' - James Ker-Lindsay, The Round Table 'This is an important book for the public policy and European studies scholars as well as for Southern Europe specialists.' - Stella Ladi - University of Sheffield, Public Administration vol. 88
