Reviews

This study of the relations between Germany and a unifying Europe is important both for its contribution to the endless theoretical debate about European integration—whether it is driven by governmental bargains or by a logic of 'spillover' that constrains and reduces the sovereignty of the member states—and its analysis of Germany's relations with (mainly) the smaller states of Western and Eastern Europe.

This important book breaks new ground in the study of the influence of Germany (especially unified Germany) in Europe.... This stimulating and persuasive study is a must for students both of Germany and Europe.... Peter Katzenstein and his colleagues deserve our thanks for a book that will stimulate further research, and further thinking, along the fruitful lines he has adopted.

This collection bridges domestic and international levels of analysis, focusing on how the institutionalization of power matters, because it takes the hard edge off power relations... Most of the authors are central figures in this field. Several of them are connected to institutions in Central Europe, making this worthwhile book a neighbour's view on Germany.

A timely and useful volume concerning Germany's relationships with other countries involved in processes of European integration.... This outstanding scholarly work is a needed addition to the literature of the subfield.
