Rezensionen

"Policy Design in the European Union - An Empire of Shopkeepers in the Making? offers a stimulating approach to analyse the EU as a supranational organisation, and its structures, processes, values and basic principles, differently. ... aims of each chapter are well defined, their methodological approach is always comprehensible and the language used is straightforward, which all result in a better understanding of the highly complex design of the EU and enable the reader to 'study the facts ... ." (Peter Alsen, Acta Sociologica, Vol. 62 (3), 2019)
"The volume does offer interesting, novel and intellectually stimulating insights to governance in a wide range of policy areas. Moreover, the editors' empire perspective is thought-provoking, while many if not all of the chapters can be read as stand-alone texts, which makes the volume also an interesting source for scholars and practitioners interested only in particular policy areas." (Timo Weishaupt, European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology, Vol. 6 (2), 2019)
