National Cultures and European Integration

"... an extremely useful contribution to the contemporary debate on European integration ... [should be] a core text on most courses dealing with European integration." --Rhys Dogan, University of Plymouth

"... certain to be widely recommended on courses on European integration...a valuable contribution to the literature on integration..." --The Journal of Regional and Federal Studies

" ... the production of such stimulating essays in English is very impressive...a worthwhile collection to stimulate discussion." --Political Studies Association

"National Cultures and European Integration is a product of the extremely fertile European Research Unit at Aalborg University in Denmark. The essays here are more centrally concerned with the cultural dimension of European integration and demonstrate the value of collecting together the insights of scholars from several disciplinary homelands. There is much to applaud in this book. All of the contributions offer insight and (a good sign) raise as many questions as they answer." --West European Politics

"The interdisciplinary working group [...] study the influence of the 'cultural' factor on the intended European Union from various angles. The authors thereby draw attention to one of the most important questions of this integration process which has previously barely been addressed. Their publication constitutes one of the first interdisciplinary sutdies of the subject and brings to light new ways of viewing the unification process itself." --Nations and Nationalism
