A must read for students of European politics! Nathalie Brack, Associate Professor, Universite libre de Bruxelles, and Visiting Professor, College of Europe Wouter Wolfs sets himself a challenging task of deciphering the complex story of party financing at the EU-level. He does not disappoint. Informative and insightful Wolfs has produced an indispensable analysis of this under-researched topic. Stephen Day, Professor of Comparative Politics and EU Studies, University of Oita Wouter Wolfs lifts the lid on European political parties and provides new, critical, and crucial insights into their workings. This empirically rich and well-informed book advances our understanding of contemporary Europarties and the challenges of EU-level party politics in general. Isabelle Hertner, Senior Lecturer, King's College London This is a meticulously researched, thoughtfully executed and cogently written study. It is central for the understanding of the EU institutions, especially in light of the hopes that generous public funding will help address their democratic deficit. In a turbulent time, this is a timely contribution on an important subject. Jonathan Mendilow, Professor of Political Science and Global Studies, Rider University, and Chair IPSA RC20 Political Finance and Political Corruption This book provides a comprehensive overview of the party finance regime at the level of the European Union. Based on an in-depth analysis of the interaction between European political parties and their institutional environment, it shows how the Europarties have coped with and altered the funding rules. Considering the strong democratic aspirations that lay at the origins of the finance regime, the book explores its consequences for party democracy and the rule of law in Europe. This book is valuable for scholars working on the European Parliament, Eurosceptic parties, EU decision-making, (European) party politics and political finance. Wouter Wolfs is Senior Researcher of the Research Foundation Flanders and Lecturer at the KU Leuven Public Governance Institute. . 001445808 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 13, 2022). 001445808 650_0 $$aPolitical parties$$zEurope. 001445808 650_0 $$aCampaign funds$$zEurope. 001445808 650_0 $$aDemocracy$$zEurope. 001445808 651_0 $$aEurope$$xPolitics and government. 001445808 651_6 $$aEurope$$xPolitique et gouvernement. 001445808 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445808 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z303095174X$$z9783030951740$$w(OCoLC)1289364256 001445808 852__ $$bebk 001445808 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-95175-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445808 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445808$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445808 980__ $$aBIB 001445808 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445808 982__ $$aEbook 001445808 983__ $$aOnline 001445808 994__ $$a92$$bISE
