The SAGE Handbook of European Studies

Review

This volume brings together some of the biggest names in European Studies to analyse the most important trajectories of Europe′s development and the challenges faced by the continent today. No one interested in Europe will be able to ignore this extraordinary collection of scholarship.

-- Professor Thomas Diez

Chris Rumford has established himself as one of the most informed and incisive commentators on contemporary Europe. In this Handbook he has drawn upon this expertise to bring together some of the best scholars currently writing about Europe. Here are to be found both the best-known names and some of the younger and rising stars. In its range and comprehensiveness it will be hard to beat; and it will certainly become an invaluable resource for sociologists, political scientists, historians and all others seeking the best information and most up-to-the-date approaches to the study of Europe today. -- Professor Krishan Kumar

Chris Rumford′s edited SAGE Handbook of European Studies offers an impressive account of the state of the art of the study of contemporary Europe... Overall, this is an outstanding work and a definite companion to all those interested in contemporary Europe.
