This book investigates the multifaceted conflicts of sovereignty in
the recent crises in the European Union. Although the notion of
sovereignty has been central in the contentious debates triggered
by the recent crises in the European Union, it remains strikingly
under-researched in political science. This book bridges this gap
by providing both theoretical reflections and empirical analyses of
today's conflicts of sovereignty in the EU. More particularly, it
investigates conflicts between four types of sovereignty. First,
national sovereignty referring to the autonomy of the Westphalian
Nation-State to rule on a territory delimited by borders; second,
the supranational sovereignty acquired by the EU in a fragmentary
fashion in a number of scattered internal and external policy
fields; third, parliamentary sovereignty understood as the autonomy
of parliaments (at the regional, national and European levels) to
take part in the decision making process and control the executive
in the name of the principles of election and representation;
fourth, popular sovereignty whereby the body politic confers
legitimacy to decision makers in a democratic system. Through an
analysis of the various crises (rule of law, Brexit, migration,
Eurozone crisis), the chapters look at how sovereignty is framed
and contested by different types of actors, and how the
strengthening or the weakening of certain types of sovereignty
contribute to shape preferences regarding policies and governance
structures in the multi-level EU. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Integration.
