"European Political Economy: Theory and Policy is a very well documented, academically sound and comprehensively analytical accomplishment. The book is a significant contribution to the literature, deepening and expanding further the related discourse. The Political Economy approach enriches the analytical and methodological background and framework , enabling the structural understanding and comprehension of a constellation of relationships among various intervening actors, as well as various and very often competing and conflicting layers of European integration, which otherwise would not be feasible to realize. The recommendations for further reading and the questions at the end of each chapter further enhance the analytical and research orientation of the book. A really excellent achievement".

“The book combines theoretical and policy analysis and provides fresh insights into European integration problems. Cutting across several issue areas of EU political economy, including trade, single market, economic adjustment, enlargement, and Brexit, the book encapsulates the fundamental challenges of European Union and euro area in a clear and understandable style.

The book is essential for undergraduate political economy/economics/EU studies majors, for graduate level courses and for policymakers who study the dynamics/constraints of the highly institutionalized and complex EU process.”
