Rezensionen

'Debaere provides a compelling and authoritative account of EU coordination in the empirically challenging Gx context. This study provides not only key insights into the variegated coordination patterns of the EU in G7, G8, and G20 processes, it also enriches the concept of coordination which is surprisingly underdeveloped in the literature.' Katie Verlin Laatikainen, Associate Professor, Adelphi University, USA

'This book develops the most advanced explanatory framework for exploring how, how much and to what effect the EU coordinates the positions and mobilizes the resources of all its member states. It is a must read for all scholars, stakeholders and policymakers of the EU, G7/8, G20 and global governance as a whole.' John Kirton, Director, G7 Research Group, and Co-Director, G20 Research Group, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada

'This book will be welcomed by all those who study the role of the EU in global governance. By providing a conceptually sophisticated and empirically rich analysis of the EU's role in the G7, G8 and G20, it adds significantly to the literature and to our understanding of EU policy-making.' Michael Smith, Professor of European Politics, Loughborough University, UK
