College. He began his career as a management consultant at what is

University of British Columbia, and the Copenhagen Business School.
Francesco has published widely on the EU, international trade
agreements, and the cultural underpinnings of market integration.
His books include The Social Construction of Free
Trade (2007) and Institutions and the Economy (2011).
Crina Viju-Miljusevic is Associate Professor in the Institute of
European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University. She
is also the Associate Director of the Centre for European Studies
at Carleton University. Her research interests include the economic
effects of different trade policies applied within the EU, US and
Canada, European economic integration, EU external relations, and
EU enlargement. She has an extensive publication record, including
co-edited
volumes, and numerous journal articles, book chapters and
conference presentations.
This is an exceptionally well edited book with top contributors
from three continents. It brings economic sociology of the finest
kind by carefully combining explanations from political economy,
institutionalism, as well as interest group and cultural value
research. A remarkable tour de force on the European Union's drive
for standardization through its trade policy in a globalising
world.
*Dirk De Bièvre, Professor of International Politics, University of
Antwerp*
Standardizing the World not only provides a comprehensive account
of how the EU tries to use standards in its preferential trade
agreements but also shows when such efforts succeed or, perhaps
more importantly, when they do not. A must read for anyone
interested in non tariff barriers to international trade.
*Gabriele Spilker, Professor of International Politics, University
of Konstanz*
