European integration confuses citizens and scholars alike. It
appears to transfer power away from national capitals towards
Brussels yet a close study of the EU reveals the absence of any
real leap towards supranationalism. The EU is dominated by
cooperation between national representatives and national officials
yet it continually appears to us as something external and separate
from national political life. This book takes on these paradoxes by
arguing that European integration should no longer be studied as
the transcendence of states or as merely an expression of national
interests. Rather, we should approach it as a process of state
transformation. This transformation is from nation-state to member
state. The book explores in detail the concept of member state,
arguing that it provides us with the best tool for understanding
the European integration process. Member states differ from
traditional nation-states. They are not founded on the idea of
popular sovereignty or the nation. They rest upon the idea that the
governance of domestic societies requires external frameworks of
rule that can bind the hands of national politicians. National
authority is thus exercised through external rules and norms.
Member statehood differs from earlier forms of statehood because it
rests upon a presumption of conflict between state and society
rather than an identity of interests between ruler and ruled. The
book outlines in empirical detail these mysteries and paradoxes of
European integration. It then outlines in detail the theory and
history of member statehood. It applies the concept of member state
to the study of two EU policy areas: macro-economic governance and
foreign and security policy.
