European integration continues to deepen despite major crises and
attempts to take back sovereignty. A growing number of member
states are reacting to a more constraining EU by negotiating
opt-outs. This book provides the first in-depth account of how
opt-outs work in practice. It examines the most controversial cases
of differentiated integration: the British and Danish opt-outs from
Economic and Monetary Union and European policies on borders,
asylum, migration, internal security and justice. Drawing on over
one hundred interviews with national representatives and EU
officials, the author demonstrates how representatives manage the
stigma of opting out, allowing them to influence even politically
sensitive areas covered by their opt-outs. Developing a political
sociology of European integration, the book shows how everyday
negotiations transform national interests into European ideals. It
is usually assumed that states opt out to preserve sovereignty, but
Adler-Nissen argues that national opt-outs may actually reinforce
the integration process.
