'Not only a nice contribution to the new field of symbolic geography. It is also a contribution to the movement within the discipline of international relations back to the broad tradition of social science understood as a unitary undertaking that transcends narrow empirical specialisation.'- The Sunday Times
'This book is indispensable both for those who are interested in how discursive constructivism is applied to a specific case(region), and for those who are interested in knowing more about the EU's concrete policies towards the Mediterranean.' - Millennium Review
'The author has tremendous factual knowledge about the EU's institutional development and concrete policies towards the Mediterranean, and she succeeds in presenting knowledge in a coherent and comprehensive manner.' - Ulla Holm, Danish Institute for International Studies
