      title = {Framing TTIP in the European public spheres : towards an  empowering dissensus for EU integration /},
      abstract = {This is a very well-crafted and thought-provoking book on  the politicisation of EU issues within domestic politics  and its role in the development of a European public  sphere. An important takeaway is that EU should embrace  public contestation as a means to foster the real  engagement with its politics and policies. Catherine de  Vries, Bocconi University, Italy This book is not only a  rich study of the impact of civil society mobilisations on  the debates about the TTIP in Europe, but also an important  contribution to establish a much needed interdisciplinary  dialogue between political theory, interest groups and  mobilisation studies and political communication in  European studies. Luis Bouza Garcia, Universidad Autonoma  de Madrid, Spain This book is a leap forward for the study  of the European public sphere. Students will find it  informative on the themes of EU democracy and public  spheres, as well as on the TTIP debate in particular, while  scholars will value its original findings, methods and  theoretical contributions. Louisa Parks, School of  International Studies, University of Trento, Italy This  book explores the debate and politicisation of the  Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)  negotiations in the Spanish, French and British public  spheres. It addresses the questions of how and to what  extent the national media discourses about TTIP were  Europeanised, and how this type of Europeanisation  contributes to the democratic legitimacy of the EU. The  author argues that the politicisation of TTIP should be  seen as a symptom of the normal politics of a democratic  polity, as it enlarges the political arena by embedding  European issues into national political debates. Demands  for Another Europe is Possible empower rather than hinder  the legitimacy of the EU.
