Andrew Moravcsik: The Choice for Europe
Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 572(1): 171–72.
It is sometimes obvious when a classic is born. The general sense of anticipation preceding the publication of Andrew Moravcsik’s new book shows that it is a classic. In fact, I found myself repeatedly looking up amazon.com to see if the book had already appeared. Having now read The Choice for Europe, I am no less convinced that it is indeed going to be considered a landmark publication. Because of its ambitious scope, historical detail, and clear argumentation, it is a must read for anyone seriously interested in European integration. But, as happens to be the case with most classical social science texts, I suspect that we will find its core argument to be flawed.
