Our Mission
The Contemporary European Studies Series is an outlet for publication of first-rate research in European Union Studies. The Series primarily publishes research monographs, but will also consider proposals for research-driven and thematic edited volumes. Although essentially a Politics/IR series, the Series Editors are keen to encourage that are interdisciplinary. In brief, we aim to a provide a new and important outlet for books on EU Studies, adopting perspectives and approaches that bring together political science and cognate disciplines.
CES seeks to publish excellent material from both established and new scholars.

In recent years, she has written a number of journal articles covering these fields, as well as editing an acclaimed EU text book EU Politics (Oxford University Press, 2003), and a co-edited (with A. K. Bourne) book on the state of the art in EU studies, Palgrave Guide to European Union Studies (Palgrave, 2006). She is currently working on a second edition of the text book and is writing a research monograph on the management of ethics within the European institutions, focusing in particular on the European Commission after 1999. This is funded by a Nuffield Foundation small grant. Michelle’s teaching interests reflect her research interests. She has run courses on EU politics and the comparative politics of Europe.
