Trade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2002 It is the great virtue of this book that by concentrating on the larger picture [Calleo] is able to convey the unprecedented scale of what is really happening in Europe."--Economist "This volume rests on theoretical insights to generate an innovative history of European political economy, one distinguished by elegant writing and invaluable annotated bibliographies. This scrupulously researched and wide-ranging book is a must-read for skimmers, scholars, and students of European matters."--Choice "Undaunted by the challenge of speculating about future developments, Calleo does a masterful job of weaving the perspectives of history, economics, philosophy, and political science into a rich tapestry of forthright questions about Europe's future and persuasive speculation about answers and possibilities... David Calleo's boos are always imperative reading for specialists, but his clear and vibrant writing is easily accessible to any educated reader interested in European and world affairs."--Forest L. Grieves, Perspectives on Political Science
