Cities and the European Union

A truly progressive work. By focusing on policy arenas as units of analysis rather than cities or countries, Samuele Dossi uncovers the logic and mechanisms of Europeanisation at work in key domains of European Union policy. A compelling read for those interested in planning, EU public policy and multi-level governance. -- Claudio M. Radaelli, University of Exeter
