Harmonization of European Company Laws: National Reform and Transnational Coordination by Eric Stein.

This is primarily a book about the legal process. It concerns a specific legal process-the process of harmonization of laws within the European Economic Community-and, despite the author's modest disclaimer, is teh best work that anyone, be he lawyer or political scientist, is likely to produce. Professor Stein is sophisticated in his views, appallingly universal in his research, subtle in presenting arguments, yet generally sound in the judgments he makes and the conclusions he draws.
