‘Loukas Tsoukalis’s latest book assembles together the analyses, observations and personal experiences of a European citizen who has minutely researched European construction… Tsoukalis offers a gripping read which holds the reader’s interest page after page… remarkable pedagogical quality, excellent writing, the sharing of personal experiences and a rigour which does not sacrifice humour. Scholars of Europe will read this book with delight, while students will come to see it as a definitive text which clarifies and illuminates the obscurities of a political system which emerged through an unplanned process of incremental sedimentation’.
