This impressive and thorough work edited by Magone (Berlin School of Economics and Law) covers both in a balanced way. Magone rightly notes that European politics is increasingly complex and that this handbook makes no claims to be definitive. Nevertheless, it certainly supplies detailed, insightful, and valuable information across a broad range of topics, providing a historical and theoretical background and then covering EU and national political systems and institutions, political elites, party systems and political parties, public administration and policy making, political economy, civil society and social movements, and Europe and the world. What is particularly useful is the detailed referencing, including the comprehensive annotated bibliography at the end. Overall, this handbook is not an introduction to the politics of the region for lower-level undergraduate students, but it is an essential resource for senior students and scholars of European politics, European integration, and comparative politics.\" \u003cem\u003e-A.
