"Sociology of the European Union examines how core sociological theories, concepts and methods can be applied to the study of the EU. Carefully integrating theory and empirical research, the book:
• Explores key concepts in European studies, such as Europeanization, integration and transnationalism
• Assesses the social foundations of Europe, from class and citizenship to mobility and culture
• Includes contributions by internationally renowned names in political, economic and cultural sociology
• Contains a postface from George Ross, one of the leading figures in contemporary European Studies
This thought-provoking book opens up new questions and debates whilst introducing readers to essential ideas and cutting-edge research. It is invaluable reading for students of Sociology, European Studies, Politics and International Relations."
