I bought this voluminous scholarly paper-book five years ago, and haven't had enough time to read it from cover to cover so far. However, as far as I read it partially, I felt at that time we can use it to deepen our thoughts. It might be a little difficult for utter outsiders.

Moravcsik argued convincingly for the importance of national economic self-interest being the driving factor behind European integration. National governments were beholden to economic interest groups which shaped policy to a greater extent than geopolitical considerations or technocratic preaching. They pursued integration through a series of 'grand bargains', resulting in significant changes about once a decade.

Moravcsik's overarching history of the postwar integration of Europe serves as the foundational text for his liberal intergovernmental theory of European integration. While the book does an excellent job of providing a comprehensive look at the history of integration from Rome to Maastricht, the theory on which Moravcsik bases his analysis suffers from notable methodological and analytical shortcomings throughout: the organization of many chapters - particularly those on the SEA and Maastricht -..more
This book is famous for a reason within EU circles. The model developed is one very different to preceding models of integration. While it is a well argued and structured book, it has come under attack from many circles and for some time. This does not stop it from being an important contribution and a book any EU student should at least touch upon at some point.
For those complaining about length, there is a journal article. The advantage of the book is you can see the application and empirical..more

Cornell Studies in Political Economy(1 - 10 of 119 books)
Andrew Maitland Moravcsik[1] (born 1957) is a Professor of Politics and director of the European Union Program at Princeton University. He is known for his research on European integration, international organizations, human rights, qualitative/historical methods, and American and European foreign policy, for developing the theory of liberal intergovernmentalism, and for his work on liberal theories of international relations.[2] He is also active in teaching and developing qualitative methods, including the development of 'active citation': a standard designed to render qualitative social science research transparent.[3]
Moravcsik is also a former policy-maker who currently serves as Nonresident Senior Fellow of The Brookings Institution,[4] and book review editor (Europe) of Foreign Affairs magazine. He was previously contributing editor of Newsweek magazine and held other journalistic positions. He writes popular and scholarly work on classical music, especially opera.
Academic career[edit]Academic positions[edit]
In 1992 Moravcsik began teaching at Harvard University's Department of Government. During his 12-year tenure in the department, Moravcsik became a Full Professor and founded Harvard's European Union program. He left the school in 2004 to assume a post at Princeton University, where he again founded an EU program.[5] He has also been affiliated with the University of Chicago, Columbia University and New York University, as well as various French, British, German and Chinese research institutes.
In 2011, Moravcsik was awarded the Stanley Kelley Teaching Prize by the Princeton University. He teaches the introductory undergraduate course in international relations, as well as masters and doctoral seminars. In addition to being the Founding Director of the European Union Program, he is the Founding Chair of the International Relations Colloquium and serves on the executive committee of various centers and programs at Princeton.
Moravcsik's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, Columbia University, Harvard University, German Marshall Fund, International Institute for Strategic Studies (London), Centre d'Etudes et Relations Internationales (Paris), and many other organizations. During the academic year 2011–2012, he was visiting fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ.
Academic publications[edit]
Moravcsik has published one book, titled The Choice for Europe: Social Purpose and State Power from Messina to Maastricht, three edited volumes,[6] and over 125 scholarly book chapters, journal articles, and reviews. The book, which the American Historical Review called 'the most important work in the field' of modern European studies,[7] attempts to explain why the member states of the European Union agreed to cede sovereignty to a supranational entity.
According to Google Scholar, The Choice for Europe has been cited at least 3501 times as of November 2013. In addition, at least fourteen journal articles authored by Moravcsik have been cited more than 250 times as of the same date. These include:
Moravcsik's 'liberal intergovernmentalist' theory of European integration is regarded as a plausible account of the emergence and evolution of the European Union. It stresses the issue-specific functional national interests of member states and goes on to analyze the interstate bargains they strike among themselves and the rational incentive to construct institutions to render enforcement and elaboration of those bargains credible.[8]
Regarding international relations theory more generally, Moravcsik is a 'liberal', in that he seeks to explain state behavior with reference to variation in the underlying purposes ('preferences' or 'fundamental national interests') that states derive from their embeddedness in domestic and transnational civil society.[8][9] Liberal theory, in contrast to realist, institutionalist, and 'constructivist' theory, privileges and directly theorizes social interdependence and globalization as the dominant force in world politics, past and present. Liberal theory, Moravcsik maintains, is not empirically sufficient to explain all of international relations, but it is analytically more fundamental than other types of international relations theory.
Moravcsik advocates greater transparency and replicability of textual, qualitative and historical research in international relations, political science, and the social sciences more generally. To this end, he has proposed the use of 'active citation' the use of precise footnotes hyperlinked to source material contained in an appendix or on a permanent qualitative data repository. He is currently working with other scholars to realize this proposal.[10] However, Moravcsik himself has been criticized for imprecise and misleading use of historical sources in The Choice for Europe.[11]
Policy career[edit]Policy roles[edit]
Prior to the start of his academic career, Moravcsik served in policy positions for governments on three continents. He was international trade negotiator at the US Department of Commerce, special assistant to South Korean Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hahn-Been, and press assistant at the Commission of the European Communities, as well as an editor of a Washington-based foreign policy journal.[12] He has subsequently served as a member and in leadership positions on policy commissions organized by the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution, the Carnegie Endowment, the Commission of the European Communities, Princeton University and other organizations.
Policy publications[edit]
Since 2002, he has written over one hundred pieces of public commentary. These include dozens of articles and commentaries including cover stories in Newsweek, Foreign Affairs and Prospect.[13][14] He has also written for the Financial Times, New York Times, and many other publications.[15] He has lectured about the European Union at The Pentagon,[16] was a guest on NPR's Talk of the Nation,[17] and has been quoted in multiple news sources, includingDeutsche Welle,[18][19]International Herald Tribune,[16][20][21]and USA Today.[22] He is book review editor (Europe) for Foreign Affairs magazine. He continues to engage in regular policy analysis and advising, currently focusing on EU–US burden-sharing, the democratic deficit in Europe, transatlantic relations, the future of the European Union, and Asian regionalism. During the academic year 2007–2008 he was a fellow at the Shanghai Institute for International Studies.[23]
Musicological career[edit]
Moravcsik began publishing music criticism while an undergraduate at Stanford University. Over the past decade, he has published over 30 reviews and articles on opera in the Financial Times, New York Times, Opera, Opera News, Newsweek, Opera Today, and elsewhere.[24] He also conducts scholarly research on opera performance and history, which has appeared in Opera Quarterly, Wagner Quarterly, Opera and elsewhere. He has written on the staging of Wagner operas and is currently directing a scholarly research project at Princeton University seeking to measure and explain the possible recent decline in quality of spinto and dramatic opera singing, particularly in heavier Verdi and Wagner roles.
Education[edit]
Moravcsik received a BA in history from Stanford University in 1980 and, after a period working in the US and Asia, spent the next year and a half as a Fulbright Fellow at the Universities of Bielefeld, Hamburg, and Marburg in West Germany. In 1982 he enrolled at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC, from which he received a Master of Arts degree in international relations in 1984. In 1992 he obtained a PhD in political science from Harvard University.
Personal life[edit]
Moravcsik is married to the political scientist, international lawyer, university administrator, policy-maker and think-tank director Anne-Marie Slaughter, with whom he has two sons.[25] As a young child, Moravcsik lived in New York, California, Pakistan, Italy, Japan, Scotland and Massachusetts. From age 10 to 18, he lived in Eugene, Oregon. His father, Michael Moravcsik, was a Hungarian immigrant to the United States who was active as a theoretical particle physicist, an expert on science development and a pioneer in the field of citation studies; Michael Moravcsik was the son of Gyula Moravcsik, a professor of Byzantine history, the grandson of Sandor Fleissig, a noted banker and government official, the brother of Julius Moravcsik, a philosopher at Stanford University, and the brother of Edith Moravcsik, a linguist at the University of Wisconsin. Andrew Moravcsik's mother, Francesca de Gogorza, comes from a New England family of Basque, Dutch, German, Scottish and English ancestry. She worked as a landscape architect and urban planner, and now lives in South Burlington, Vermont, where she is active in retirement as a nationally ranked senior track and field athlete.[citation needed]

✏Love Is a Choice Book Summary : Let go of unhealthy relationships with the book that more than 850K people have trusted. Best-selling doctors, Hemfelt, Minirth, and Meier, walk you through their ten proven stages to recovery from codependency that results from external circumstances. Humans are susceptible to codependency because of our sinful tendency to use defense mechanisms to fool ourselves. In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused. God wants us to have healthy relationships with a balance between being dependent and independent. The doctors describe how the most effective means of overcoming codependent relationships is to establish or deepen a relationship with Christ Himself. They describe the causes of codependency, pointing out the factors that perpetuate it, and lead readers through their ten stages of recovery.

✏From Chance to Choice Book Summary : This book, written by four internationally renowned bioethicists and first published in 2000, was the first systematic treatment of the fundamental ethical issues underlying the application of genetic technologies to human beings. Probing the implications of the remarkable advances in genetics, the authors ask how should these affect our understanding of distributive justice, equality of opportunity, the rights and obligations as parents, the meaning of disability, and the role of the concept of human nature in ethical theory and practice. The book offers a historical context to contemporary debate over the use of these technologies by examining the eugenics movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The questions raised in this book will be of interest to any reflective reader concerned about science and society and the rapid development of biotechnology, as well as to professionals in such areas as philosophy, bioethics, medical ethics, health management, law, and political science.

✏Routine Activity and Rational Choice Book Summary : Two new criminological approaches are defined and applied to categories of crime in Routine Activity and Rational Choice, now available in paperback. Routine activity analyzes the criminal event, and avoids motivations and psychology as topics for discussion, whereas rational choice approaches crime as purposive behavior designed to meet the offender's commonplace needs, such as money, status, sex, and excitement. These conceptual models are both employed to analyze such crimes as drunk driving, gun use, kidnapping, and political violence. This volume discusses the relationship of these theories to more traditional approaches to crime studies. The Advances in Criminological Theory series encourages theory construction and validation in the articles and themes selected for publication. It also furthers the free exchange of ideas, propositions, and postulates. Following publication of the first volume, Michael J. Lynch of Florida State University asserted that 'Advances in Criminological Theory is to be applauded as an attempt to revive criminological theory by providing an accessible outlet.' Contributions to this volume include: Pierre Tremblay, 'Searching for Suitable Co-offenders'; Raymond Paternoster and Sally Simpson, 'A Rational Choice Theory of Corporate Crime'; Richard B. Felson, 'Predatory and Dispute-related Violence'; Gordon Trasler, 'Conscience, Opportunity, Rational Choice, and Crime'; Ezzat A. Fattah, 'The Rational Choice/Opportunity Perspectives as a Vehicle for Integrating Criminological and Victimological Theories'; Patricia L. Brantingham and Paul J. Brantingham, 'Environment, Routine, and Situation'; Maurice Cusson, 'A Strategic Analysis of Crime'; Richard W. Harding, 'Gun Use in Crime, Rational Choice, and Social Learning Theory.'
