European Union At an Inflection Point - (Dis)integrating Or the New Normal?

Informationen zum Autor Alasdair R. Young is a Professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Co-Director of the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies, a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence. He is the chair of the European Union Studies Association (USA) (2015-2017). Zusammenfassung The cutting-edge contributions to this book analyse different facets of the European Union (EU): closer integration among the member states! policymaking within a 'normal' political system! and the implications of European integration for its member states. This book also considers whether the challenges currently confronting the EU - the lingering Eurozone debt crises! the migrant/refugee crisis! the British decision to leave the EU! and terrorist attacks in Belgium! France and Germany - mark an inflection point for the Union and for the study of the EU. For the first time! 'less Europe'! rather than closer integration! has emerged as a serious option in response to crisis. This possibility reignites questions of (dis)integration and calls into question the assumption of the EU as a 'normal' political system. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. Inhaltsverzeichnis An inflection point in European Union studies?
