"Given Tangled Governance's impressive empirical richness and its very convincing theoretical argument, the book is highly recommendable as a comprehensive account of the complex governance issues of the crisis period and the equally numerous as well as heterogeneous actors and institutions involved. The very well prepared data on the conditions of the country programmes together with its hint towards the important role of the United States of America and the IMF in the European governance regime offers valuable insights for both scholars searching for an inclusive account of the complex politics and governance mechanisms of the period in question, and those scholars interested in EU studies that want to learn more about the complex regime of European multilevel governance from a more international and global governance perspective. " -- Sebastian Heiderbrecht , JMCS

"Through detailed analysis of more than a half dozen programs undertaken since 2010 to rescue the GIIPS (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain) this book provides insightful analysis of the crucial roles played by northern European countries like Germany, as well as non-European countries- the United States in particular- in contributing to an increasingly complex set of new regional and international governance institutions." - EuropeNow Journal

"This is an innovative and interesting argument, which Henning supports with an excellent array of case studies. More important, Henning's argument adds to our understanding of international regimes in a way that resonates with what we know about domestic politics." - Erik Jones, Survival: Global Politics and Strategy
