European Integration: Historical Trajectories, Geopolitical Contexts

Explores the historical, geopolitical and conjunctural aspects of European integration, and their relevance to understanding the current crisis To understand the current difficulties and future prospects of European integration, multiple perspectives are required. The essays in this collection explore historical and geopolitical aspects of European integration and their relevance to interpretations of the current climate. They also examine the different regional dynamics of integration and the attitudes that result from those experiences, including in the European peripheries that are so often overshadowed by the dominant centres. In drawing all of these perspectives together, the collection allows the reader to assess the EU''s current crisis in context. See more
