The Eurozone Crisis and the Transformation of EU Governance Reviews

'The EU is once again in transformation, experimenting with reforms of its internal and external governance in response to the Euro crisis. No one knows yet how this reform process will play out, but its consequences are sure to be momentous, not only for the EU itself, but also for the wider global order. To analyse these developments, Rodrigues and Xiarchogiannopoulou have assembled a stellar group of scholars, whose kaleidoscopic reflections will be of compelling interest to anyone concerned with the future of European governance.' - Jonathan Zeitlin, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

'Connecting the Euro crisis and EU governance issues, this book is as timely as social science volumes get!' - Gerda Falkner, University of Vienna, Austria.

'There could be no better moment for the publication of a book like this. Europe is in deep transformation and this edited volume presents a collection of outstanding assessments of the different transformation processes that are currently on their way. The authors present a fascinating mix between the analysis of current policy debates in the context of the recent crisis and theoretical considerations related to scholarship on the European multi-level governance. The chapter selection is impressive: the strength of the volume is that it brings together scholarship at the border between politics, economics, social politics, welfare analysis, and international relations.' - Henrik Enderlein, Professor of Political Economy, Director of Jacques Delors Institut, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin.
