Book Reviews Dennis Campbell and Charles Flint, 1993: The European Market: Myth or Reality? Deventer, Boston: Kluwer (1994) 237 + xiii pages. £51, $82. The title may suggest a critical analysis of the achievements of the Single Market or some kind of implementation or impacts study - studies of which there is a dearth in the literature. In fact the book is quite the opposite. It is a through and through black-letter doctrinal treatment of some of the areas coming under the Single Market concept. For the most part the individual chapters are too short to be more than a superficial doctrinal survey: Even such formidable writers as Ivo Van Bael cannot do justice to the first two years of Merger Control in 16 pages. The quality is uneven too: For the most part competent though clearly some pieces were rushed and unsatisfactory (Robert Bijloos - How Does Europe Avoid the Superfund?). Of interest to the readers of this Journal could have been the chapter on the European Economic Area by Gormley and the tantalizingly entitled: Institutions and Conflict Solution in Multilateral Free Trade Arrangements: The Gatt and the EEAA. But at five pages and twenty pages respectively these piece provoke the appetite but do not satisfy. This book gives the impression of a hastily thrown together results of a conference. At £51 it is poor value. JHHW
