Book review: European integration and the communistdilemma: communist responses to Europe in Greece, Cyprusand Italy

Using an array of interviews with party elites, European Integration and the Communist Dilemma finds that Communist parties in Western Europe have responded to European integration in very different ways, and that they moderate their positions on European integration by placing less salience on European issues rather than through changing formal policy positions. Dan Keith finds that the book is an impressive contribution to the comparative academic literature on Western Europe’s Communist parties, and believes it will be of interest to those who are studying current debates on the Left and European integration.
