How Unified Is the European Union?
Sverker Gustavsson · 2009
58/100
👎 Skip It
A credible Springer academic volume that was genuinely timely at the 2008 financial crisis moment, but EU integration analysis has been reshaped by the Eurozone crisis, Brexit, and subsequent political fractures that postdate it. At 189 pages it is short for the scope, and its value is now mainly historical — useful for scholars tracing how the conversation evolved, not as current analysis.
