“‘The work of Nikos Vogiatzis demonstrates … that this field of study is not exhausted. The interest of the book lies not only in its ambition to map out the activities of the Ombudsman but also in the possible perspectives for the evolution of their mandate. Obviously, as the author acknowledges at the outset, it is difficult to evaluate the real contribution of the Ombudsman to the EU’s democratization process, since it is a complex process to appraise. Nonetheless, the book offers avenues for reflection and undoubtedly brings out an overview of the Ombudsman’s contribution, thanks to a study enriched by the empirical work on the Ombudsman’s services that was conducted.’” (Emilie Chevalier, translated from Revue trimestrielle de droit européen, Issue 4, 2019)“It is gratifying to see yet another valuable academic contribution to the ombudsman scholarship, which in recent decades has grown in sophistication, stature and influence. The book contains useful insight on how the European Ombudsman operates in the legal and institutional context of the EU, and provides a clear and comprehensive picture of his contribution in promoting a more transparent and accountable EU administrative ethos.” (Alexandros Tsadiras, Common Market Law Review, Vol. 56 (2), 2019)“In this valuable addition to the growing literature on the EO, Nikos Vogiatzis steers a sound methodological course. His analysis of the EO is firmly rooted in the legal and institutional context of the EU, while also taking account of comparative analyses of ombudsman institutions in Europe and globally.” (Ian Harden, European Public Law, Vol. 24 (2), 2018)

"This is an outstanding collection of essays ... that should be required reading for both academics and students, for the sheer consistency of its scholarship and ambition across no fewer than fifteen chapters ... [It] is a fascinating and thought-provoking collection that will undoubtedly be read widely for years to come. - The English Historical Review

A historical approach to culture and consumerism is a necessary ingredient to understanding contemporary life in a modern Western society like Britain, and anthropologists interested in capitalism, consumption, and modern lifestyles can benefit greatly from this country-specific investigation of politics, gender, pleasure, and the more or less intentional construction of an enduring modern subjectivity. - Anthropology Review Database

The best essays in this collection explore... and collectively illustrate the imaginative work that can still be undertaken in the study of consumer culture in modern Britain. - Journal of Modern History"

In an often-dry academic literature on China's transition from Maoist economic autarchy to global trading partner, this book is a pleasant surprise. As a well-positioned "insider" in Beijing's CCP hierarchy, Li Lanqing offers valuable insights into the initial phases of China's "opening up policy" from the early 1970s to 1984... Li (former vice premier) enlivens his topical account with colourful and even bizarre anecdotes that capture wider issues at stake in these
pivotal years... Summing up: Highly recommended.
