Book review: The Oxford handbook of the European Union

"The Oxford Handbook of the European Union." Edited by Erik Jones, Anand Menon, and Stephen Weatherill. Oxford University Press. 2012. --- The EU is becoming increasingly important and present in the lives of Europeans, at the same time as myths and misunderstandings about the institution and its role are on the rise. With contributions from over sixty specialists, Giulia Pastorella finds the Oxford Handbook of the European Union to be a key survey of scholarly work on the ‘unidentified political object’ that is the EU. She finds it to be a comprehensive guide to the EU, its institutions, and history, which will be of interest to EU specialists and non-specialists alike.
