Zusatztext The book certainly provides an important contribution to the broader field of political sociology of European integration. Bringing rich empirical data and analysis into the theoretical debate about the character of transnationalism within European societies, it will surely stimulate the development of further research. Therefore, the book is highly relevant to scholars who are researching Europeanisation and transnationalisation, as it widens the understanding of the impact that transnationalism has on attitudes toward European integration. It may also be essential to students working in the field of EU studies, as it offers an excellent example of how to carry out quantitative empirical research. Regarding the current political situation in Europe, it is definitely a well-timed book, which may contribute to thinking about problems and possible solutions to this challenging era in the European integration process.
