Her 1998 book The Currency of Ideas is viewed as a notable constructivist explanation for the origins of the Euro, and her 2015 book The Politics of Everyday Europe has been called "path-breaking," "refreshing" and "crucial" for its analysis of how and why the European Union has become a legitimate political entity, albeit fragile and often contested.
