This book examines just what the European Union is, in the
context of the ongoing structural transformation of the global
system. The author develops an integrated approach to global
transformations, drawing on geopolitics, political geography,
international relations, economics, economic and political history,
political economy and macro-sociology to discuss how this
supra-state organisation, that shares and pools the sovereignty of
some of the wealthiest states of the modern world, makes sense. The
book:
- Interprets the ongoing transformation of west European public
authority in the context of the global geopolitical economy of
competition, cooperation and conflict
- Examines the consequences of west European integration for the
global system in a longue-dur?e perspective, developing a new,
geopolitical dialect within world-systems analysis, sharpening some
of the conceptual tools developed by its paradigm-setters.
- Develops a new conceptualization for the EU's global
geopolitical strategy, which the author describes this strategy as
the elasticity of size
Developing a deeper understanding of global social change and
west European strategies of global advantage-maintenance and
power-management, this book will be of interest to students and
scholars of European Politics, International Politics,
International Relations Theory and Globalization Studies.
