Biography

Violaine Delteil is Associate Professor at the Institute for European Studies, Paris University Sorbonne Nouvelle and member of the Research Centre ICEE (Integration and Cooperation in the European Space), France.



Vassil Kirov, PhD (Sciences Po) is Associate Professor at the Institute for the Study of Societies and Knowledge, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (ISSK-BAS) and Associate researcher at the Centre Pierre Naville, University of Evry and at the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), Bulgaria.

"The book is a real contribution to the comparative analysis of the transformation and Europeanisation of the median European economies. The analysis of the paradox of the European multinational companies (unlike the Asian ones), vectors of the dependency but also promoters of relatively more advanced industrial relations, is particularly original."

Bernard Chavance, Université Paris Diderot, Revue d’études comparatives Est-Ouest (RECEO)
