Political integration and economic globalisation cannot  diminish local identity and social memories. This fascinating  collection of national case studies shows why there will always be a  local `demos' located in ecology, economy, and society. But there will  never be a transnational `demos', precisely because locality is the  basis for meaningful sustainability. Long may it triumph.' \u003cem\u003eTim  O'Riordan, CSERGE,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eUniversity of East Anglia\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  'The book offers a refreshing perspective on the diversity of Europe  and at the same time, on the interdependence of the policies,  economies, and societies of European countries. Going beyond the  dichotomies of `good and bad' and `leaders and laggards' in  environmental matters, the authors contribute to a different  understanding of the North-South divide in the process of  European integration.' \u003cem\u003eAngela Liberatore, European Commission,\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eDirectorate General for Research\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  `This is a self-consciously revisionist volume, whose findings are  theoretically significant, policy-relevant, and timely. Its insistence  on `bringing society back in,' its debunking of the notion of a  `Mediterranean syndrome,' its emphasis on developmental `leapfrogging'  capacity of late-comers to emerge as leaders in contexts of late  modernity, and its systematic attempt to reconceptualize the politics  of Europeanization should be carefully listed to students and  policy-makers concerned with collective action, Southern Europe,  European integration, and environmental politics.' \u003cem\u003eP.
