Reviews
“But Europe is much more than a single market. It embodies many more cultures and languages than any other economic power and its linkages with the rest of the world are probably more extensive because of the widespread emigration from Europe that has occurred over the centuries. The fact that it is also in the process of developing a new form of governance that is neither intergovernmental nor federal but has elements of both is being watch closely by the scholars and governments in other countries.” – Patrick Crowley, Professor of Economics, Texas A&M University and Chair of the European Union Economics Interest Section in the United States
“This rich array of essays covers everything from language issues, to historical memory to the feasibility of collaborative political strategies for Europe. . . . Assessing the ramifications from New Zealand presents a fresh perspective for EU and European Studies scholarship from across the disciplines.” – Dr. Bernadette Luciano, Associate Professor of Italian, Head of the School of European Languages and Literature, University of Auckland
"All chapters are carefully researched and referenced giving testament of the book's high academic standard. Considering the breadth and depth of its subject, the book should attract a wide academic readership." - Klaus Bosselmann, Professor of Law, University of Auckland
