“A work of impressive scholarship and historical imagination, whose
range of intellectual reference and polish of style make it unlike
anything written about the EU before or since”—Perry Anderson,
London Review of Books
"This insightful book, written by someone close to events,
comprehends and confronts the dynamic tensions in Europe between
the politicians and public opinion. A must-read for reform-minded
pro-Europeans and sceptics alike."—Lord Mandelson
"The Passage to Europe is a book on European integration like
no other: history, political theory, social science and
constitutional law laid out in such a personal and compelling
narrative that one does not perceive the depth of learning and
experience underlying it. Students, politicians and anyone
interested in European politics will profit from reading this
book. There are few better ways to grasp how a continent
became a Union."—Joseph H.H. Weiler, author of The Constitution of
Europe: 'Do the New Clothes Have an Emperor?' and Other Essays on
European Integration
"A revolution in thinking and speaking about Europe."—Dutch Foreign
Minister Frans Timmermans
