Governing Europe

"Governing Europe is the first book to systematically link Michel Foucault's hypotheses on power and governmentality with the study of European integration. Through a series of empirical encounters that span the fifty-year history of European integration, it explores both the diverse political dreams that have framed means and ends of integration and the political technologies that have made 'Europe' a calculable, administrable domain." "Governing Europe will be essential reading not only for researchers of European integration, but for political scientists and sociologists interested in developing a dialogue between Foucauldian themes and political studies."--Jacket.
