'...an invaluable contribution to the field.' - Jakob C. Øhrgaard, Millennium
'...a remarkably comprehensive monograph... I would highly recommend this book to policymakers and all those who deal directly with these matters, as a bureaucratic history and desk reference. It will also be useful as background reading for undergraduate and graduate courses on issues of EU foreign policy, aid, and accession. Its clear style of presentation and evenhanded, objective approach eminently suit these purposes.' - Mitchell A. Orenstein, International Studies Review
