"How refreshing to encounter a book which not only seeks to
understand the social transformations of Europe but also attends to
matters of the European economy and the European state. This is a
sociology book which ‘ticks all the right boxes' for students
of political science, and, at the same time, advances a
particularly sociological approach to the study of Europe ... It
should become essential reading, not only for sociology students
and those following European Studies courses, but also for a range
of scholars from disciplines that have hitherto viewed 'European
society' as alien territory."

"By drawing on a wide range of empirical and theoretical
studies, Outhwaite has written a readable and accessible book on
contemporary European society."

"An insightful study of the emerging shape of Europe. Outhwaite
skillfully demonstrates the significance of a European as opposed
to a national level of analysis. A lot of ground is covered in this
excellent short book."
Gerard Delanty, University of Sussex
