Political scientists from across the continent, Britain, and Canada apply institutional research to the issue of European integration, and connect scholars in the diverse traditions of institutionalist research in order to gain new understandings about the influence of institutions that might be applied beyond the borders of European studies. They bring a broad range of approaches within the increasingly accepted general areas of rational choice, historical, and sociological institutionalism. Distributed in the US by Palgrave.
