Toward a Reflexive Political Sociology of the European Union: Fields, Intellectuals and Politicians

This book argues that contemporary European politics creates new forms of transnational power that challenge the traditional parameters of the nation-state.
Kauppi identifies and critically explores the evolving dynamics between national and transnational spaces, groups and knowledge, and suggests that European public policies and transnational institutions like the European Parliament create new spaces, types of knowledge and novel political practices.
