ALAN WINTERS, University of Sussex WOLFGANG WESSELS, Universität zu Köln Past Editors Uwe Kitzinger (Founding Editor), Miguel Wionczek, William Wallace, Loukas Tsoukalis, Peter Robson, Simon Bulmer & Andrew Scott Administrator: Susan Jones Editorial Assistant: Ricardo Gomez The Journal is devoted to the study of European integration. It embraces theory, empirical work and policy analysis, and is interdisciplinary in character. The core disciplines are economics and politics, but contributions from law and other cognate disciplines that help to advance understanding of the economics or politics of European integration are also welcome. The Journal publishes high-quality, original articles and normally requires submissions to be refereed. Although committed to the highest academic standards, the Journal aims to be accessible to policy-makers and practitioners and seeks to encourage informed debate on European issues. Its primary focus is the European Union, but it is also open to comparative work and to research on other aspects of European integration.
