‘This essential book brings together everything I appreciate in a volume on teaching politics: diverse, interdisciplinary voices; an emphasis on active learning in all its forms; and an approach that considers not only changes in the subject itself, but how that subject—in this case, the EU’s pathway in integration and policy—itself affects both teachers and students.’
