In \u003ci\u003eEuropean Objects,\u003c\/i\u003e Laurent analyzes the political consequences of these interventions and their democratization. He uses the term “European objects” to describe technical entities that are regulated—and thereby transformed—by European policies. To uncover the bureaucratic and regulatory intricacies of European governance, Laurent focuses on a series of these objects, including food products, chemicals, financial products, consumer goods, drinking water, and occupational environments. Laurent argues that taking European objects seriously offers a way to rephrase the dreams of harmonization and, eventually, rethink the constitutional strength of European integration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLau","brand":"MIT Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733473898839,"sku":"9780262543330","price":55.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/european-objects-the-troubled-dreams-of-harmonization-inside-technology-9780262543330","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
