Informationen zum Autor Mark Rhinard is Professor of International Relations at Stockholm University, Sweden and Research Director at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Neill Nugent is Emeritus Professor of Politics at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. William E. Paterson is Emeritus Director of the Institute of German Studies, University of Birmingham, UK. Klappentext The crises of the European Union extend beyond the challenges of Covid-19, Brexit, the Eurozone, and mass migration, cutting to the core of the EU itself. Taking a structural rather than event-based approach, this text unpacks all aspects of the EU in crisis and analyses the implications of these crises for the EU and its member states. This edition argues that crises and challenges are no longer unique and discreet events facing the EU, but rather, they are better understood as sustained conditions that have changed the relationships between member states, the functioning of institutions, the nature of public engagement and the prospects for integration. Chapters broach institutional issues as well as specific policy challenges, covering questions of legitimacy and leadership and offering a full chapter on democracy and Euroscepticism. Working within both historical and theoretical frameworks, this is the perfect companion for those studying and researching contemporary challenges facing the EU, European integration, political crisis management and transboundary crises more broadly. Vorwort Written by a team of leading experts, unpacks all dimensions of the EU in crisis, and analyses its implications for the EU, its member states and the relationships between the states.
