ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Some analyses in this book started in 2010 when Danilo Di Mauro was Marie Curie Research Fellow (Gr. N. 238607) at the European University Institute (EUI) in Fiesole. He wants to express his personal gratitude to the scholars who offered their comments and suggestions at the very beginning of this work. Among others he wants to mention Mark Franklin, Alexander Trechsel, Marta Fraile, Claudius Wagemann, Laurie Beaudonnet, and all the scholars involved in the ELECDEM Network (with a particular mention of S.  Banducci and C. de Vreese). Personal thanks go to the former director of the Shuman Centre at the EUI, Stefano Bartolini, a true “giant” of our discipline and a wonderful person. Deep gratitude also goes to Paolo Bellucci for the theoretical and methodological suggestions only such a paramount scholar and mentor could offer. None of the above are, of course, responsible for whatever has been missed in our text. Thanks to Gerda Falkner and the EiOP team for allowing us
