Rezensionen
"The book will be useful for scholars and students particularly searching for an overview of town-twinning practices, but also for readers interested in how social processes are intertwined with the political, economic and cultural project of European integration. It is an empirically rich and theoretically dense read, reaching across different disciplinary fields of sociology, anthropology and political science." (Ines Wagner, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (4), 2016)
