Rezensionen
'A significant pioneering effort on euroscepticism, party leadership and the factors that condition minor parties in an electoral system reaction to and use of acceptance/ rejection of a Pan-European political and economic relationship, a dynamic deeply

responsive to the intranational positioning of the voting public. A major achievement!'

William Crotty, Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Public Life and Professor of Political Science, Northeastern University, USA

'Political Parties and Euroscepticism by Dr Topaloff is a book long overdue. Between simple optimism and pessimism about the future of the European Union, we are often carried away by either one of them. Now, we are given a genuine opportunity to understand the intricacies of 'Euro-politics'. This is a must read for those interested in this field.'

Kosaku Dairokuno, Professor, Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan

'Once the preserve of elites, European integration is these days the stuff of mass politics. Topaloff's book offers cogent and analytically rigorous insight into the dynamics of euroscepticism as it takes deeper roots across the Old Continent. A must read for anyone interested in the EU of today.'

Dimitar Bechev, Senior Policy Fellow, European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR)
