"European Union Politics brings together substantive
expertise on EU issues with theoretical understanding of debates in the
social sciences, and methodological sophistication in the presentation of
arguments. It is clearly the best existing journal on EU."
George Tsebelis, UCLA, USA
"EUP is a high-grade journal that publishes quality articles, subject to the
replication standards
of the hard sciences, and selected through extensive double-blind peer
review. Clearly, EUP has placed
the institutionalist rational choice literature on the EU on an ascending
curve, but in it you will also find
analyses of European elections, opinion surveys, as well as exemplars
of a fast-growing field in European
political science-the comparative analysis of the effects of European
integration on domestic institutions
and policies. EUP also features a Forum Section, an intelligent mix of
useful review articles and candid debates.
In one of them, a Member of the European Parliament questions the practical
relevance of spatial modeling to
the study of voting procedures in the European Parliament. In another,
a group of American
political economists reminisce the days when they sold EMU and the Euro
short. Surely,
learning is an unpredictable experience. But the odds favor EUP and its
readers"
Daniel Verdier, EUI, Florence, Italy
"In
my opinion, it has become the leading social science journal dealing with
EU issues... must
reading for anyone interested in the EU as well as for those interested
in theoretical developments
in comparative politics and international relations"
James Caporaso, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
"The
EUP has quickly become the premier outlet for rigorous social science
that focuses on the EU.
Importantly, however, the journal has not served to isolate the study
of the EU from other political science research.
On the contrary, the articles published in EUP typically address issues
of general theoretical
importance on topics such as institutional design, voting, public opinion,
delegation, and political economy.
Consequently, EUP serves to integrate EU studies into the mainstream of
political science, and
articles published there will set theoretical and empirical agendas for
political scientists
whose primary interest is not focused strictly on the EU"
John Huber, Columbia University, USA
"The
journal is essential reading for all those seeking an analytic understanding
of
how the European Union works now, and will work over the horizon"
Patrick Dunleavy, London School of Economics, UK
