Rezensionen

"This book analyses politicization and legitimation of regional governance in Europe and the Americas. The chapters demonstrate convincingly that legitimacy matters for regional integration. Although scholarship on legitimacy in the EU has grown in recent years the topic has so far only received scant attention in relation to integration efforts in North and South America. This is a solid and important contribution to the literature on comparative regional integration." - Finn Laursen, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
