Articles & Books

Finding the relevant sources and references is not always easy, so I thought it might be useful to me, and to other people, if I were to collect, list and link the main references that influenced me over the years. This page is not a definitive or complete list of links, but it is a useful place to start looking for. It is rather long and to be fair I have not read every single one of these books completely. Although I have tried to organise it according to some logic, it is still mostly a collection of references that at one point or another I came across, so I apologize if it seems a bit messy.

In the following lines you will find a selective list of references for European Integration, Politics and Economics. Each topic is organised into Manuals/Books and Articles. EU is divided into Politics, Economics and Miscellaneous Topics. POLITICS is divided into Political Theory and Political Economy. ECONOMICS is divided into Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Fiscal Multipliers and Econometrics.
