The IEUSS Review of Books (IRB) specializes in reviews of books about the European politics and history. The IRB includes many reviews of textbooks for courses on the European Union. This is an important service for educators who are preparing to or currently teaching courses in the EU because most peer-reviewed journals do not accept textbooks for review. The IRB commissions textbook reviews from college professors who have taught undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on governance, politics, and policies in the European Union.

Routledge Studies on Government and the European Union (Series Editor: Andy Smith)
What is actually governed at the scale of the European Union (EU)? Some domains of societies and economies in Europe certainly seem to be, but the government of many others appears instead to take place at global, national or sub-national scales. The principal objective of this book series is to provide a sustained and structured space within which a cumulative set of books on what the EU actually governs would be published. These will depart from much of mainstream ‘EU studies’ to propose instead social science theory driven analyses that better reflect and reveal the transnational character of government in contemporary Europe.
