Description of Theories of European Integration |
In this first book-length treatment of integration theory for many years, Ben Rosamond provides an accessible and stimulating critical introduction to the full range of classical and contemporary perspectives. The book explains the centrality of theoretical work to the study of integration and the EU and carefully locates different theories within their wider intellectual and 'real world' contexts. This thoroughly researched book engages with the key debates to have arisen from theoretical deliberations about European integration. It develops its own distinctive contribution, emphasising the importance of 'sociology of knowledge' questions when evaluating integration theory and stressing the continued significance of international theory to the study of the EU.

Reviews'An extremely impressive interpretative account of twentieth century theorizing about European integration which provides much-needed elucidation of a very complex and contentious area. Meticulous and exhaustive while being eminently readable, Ben Rosamond's book is essential reading for all courses on regional integration and a must for all scholars with an interest in contemporary Europe.' - Glenda G. Rosenthal, Columbia University
'This robust and fluent volume fills a longstanding gap in the literature. Ben Rosamond neatly combines a 'cartography' of established integration theories with a thoughtful critique of new approaches.' - Helen Wallace, University of Sussex
'Ben Rosamond has written a timely book that will be of interest to all students of European integration. Rosamond's intelligent critical analysis makes a very fine contribution to this dynamic field.' - Gary Marks, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
