The Routledge Handbook of Differentiation in the European Union
offers an essential collection of groundbreaking chapters
reflecting on the causes and consequences of this complex
phenomenon. With contributions from key experts in this subfield of
European Studies, it will become a key volume used for those
interested in learning the nuts and bolts of differentiation as a
mechanism of (dis)integration in the European Union, especially in
the light of Brexit. Organised around five key themes, it offers an
authoritative "encyclopaedia" of differentiation and addresses
questions such as: How can one define differentiation in the
European Union in the light of the most recent events? Does
differentiation create more challenges or opportunities for the
European Union? Is Europe moving away from an "ever closer Union"
and heading towards an "ever more differentiated Union", especially
as leading political figures across Europe favour the use of
differentiation to reconcile divergences between member states?
This handbook is essential reading and an authoritative reference
for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in,
and actively concerned about, research in the study of European
integration. As European differentiation is multifaceted and
involves a wide range of actors and policies, it will be of further
interest to those working on countries and/or in policy areas where
differentiation is an increasingly relevant feature. The

Assessing the consequences of Brexit on EU policies, institutions
and members, this book discusses the significance of
differentiation for the future of European integration. This book
theoretically examines differentiated integration and
disintegration, focuses on how this process affects key policy
areas, norms and institutions of the EU, and analyses how the
process of Brexit is perceived by and impacts on third countries as
well as other organizations of regional integration in a
comparative perspective. This edited book brings together both
leading and emerging scholars to integrate the process of Brexit
into a broader analysis of the evolution, establishment and impact
of the EU as a system of differentiation. This book will be of key
interest to scholar and students of European Union politics,
European integration, Brexit, and more broadly to Public
Administration, Law, Economics, Finance, Philosophy, History and
International Relations.
Since the advent of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, a key turning point
in terms of the crystallisation of opposition towards the European
Union (EU), Euroscepticism has become a transnational phenomenon.
The term 'Euroscepticism' has become common political language in
all EU member states and, with the advent of the Eurozone, refugee
and security crises have become increasingly 'embedded' within
European nation states. Bringing together a collection of essays by
established and up-and-coming authors in the field, this handbook
paints a fuller, more holistic picture of the extent to which the
Eurosceptic debate has influenced the EU and its member states.
Crucially, it also focuses on what the consequences of this
development are likely to be for the future direction of the
European project. By adopting a broad-based, thematic approach, the
volume centres on theory and conceptualisation, political parties,
public opinion, non-party groups, the role of referendums - and the
media - and of scepticism within the EU institutions. It also
reflects on the future of Euroscepticism studies following the
United Kingdom's vote to leave the EU. Containing a full range of
thematic contributions from eminent scholars in the field, The
Routledge Handbook of Euroscepticism is a definitive frame of
reference for academics, practitioners and those with an interest
in the debate about the EU, and more broadly for students of
European Studies, EU and European Politics.
As the EU enters an increasingly uncertain phase after the 2016
Brexit referendum, Euroscepticism continues to become an
increasingly embedded phenomenon within party systems, non-party
groups and within the media. Yet, academic literature has paid
little attention to the emergence of, and increased development of,
transnational and pan-European networks of EU opposition. As the
'gap' between Europe's mainstream political elites and an
increasingly sceptical public has widened, pan-European spheres of
opposition towards the EU have developed and evolved. The volume
sets out to explain how such an innately contradictory phenomenon
as transnational Euroscepticism has emerged. It draws on a variety
of perspectives and case studies in a number of spheres - the
European Parliament, political parties, the media, civil society
and public opinion. Examining to what extent the pan-European
dimension of Euroscepticism is becoming increasingly influential,
it argues that opposition to European integration has for too long
been viewed somewhat narrowly, through the paradigm of national
party politics. This text will be of key interest to scholars,
students and professionals in EU politics, European studies,
political parties, and more broadly to comparative politics and
international relations.

The notion of Differentiated Integration is increasingly used in
the literature on European integration. Often employed
interchangeably with the notion of "flexible integration, diverging
views on its nature have led to the emergence of various
definitions and, to some extent, a semantic confusion. A lack of
consensus characterizes the academic literature; some authors even
avoid putting an explicit definition on the term. The main
objective of this book is to seek answers for the following
questions: How can one define Differentiated Integration in the
European Union? Should Differentiated Integration be considered as
a process, a concept, a system or a theory? Should it be seen as a
temporary or a well-established phenomenon? How is this field of
study likely to develop in the future? In order to do so, all
chapters, written by leading experts in the field, offer a
state-of-the-art analysis of the study of differentiated
integration, from theoretical and practical perspectives. In
addition, this book is not a collection of isolated papers: all
chapters are interconnected and gravitate towards the
aforementioned central questions, but approach these from different
perspectives. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of European Public Policy.
This edited collection uses democratic forums to study what people
want from the welfare state in five European countries. The forum
method yields new insights into how people frame social issues,
their priorities and acceptable solutions. This is the first time
democratic forums have been used as a research tool in this field.
The contributors' research show that most people recognize growing
inequality, population ageing, paying for health care and pensions,
social care and immigration as areas where the welfare state faces
real challenges. The most striking findings are the high level of
support across all countries for social investment, and the way
justifications for this vary between welfare state regimes. The
authors also explore key areas such as immigration and
intergenerational differences. Attitudes, Aspirations and Welfare
will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of
disciplines including politics, social policy and sociology, as
well as policy-makers.

European welfare states are undergoing profound change, driven by
globalization, technical changes, and population ageing. More
immediately, the aftermath of the Great Recession and unprecedented
levels of immigration have imposed additional pressures. This book
examines welfare state transformations across a representative
range of European countries and at the EU level, and considers
likely new directions in social policy. It reviews the dominant
neo-liberal austerity response and discusses social investment,
fightback, welfare chauvinism, and protectionism. It argues that
the class solidarities and cleavages that shaped the development of
welfare states are no longer powerful. Tensions surrounding
divisions between old and young, women and men, immigrants and
denizens, and between the winners in a new, more competitive, world
and those who feel left behind are becoming steadily more
important. European countries have entered a period of political
instability and this is reflected in policy directions. Austerity
predominates nearly everywhere, but patterns of social investment,
protectionism, neo-Keynesian intervention, and fightback vary
between countries. The volume identify areas of convergence and
difference in European welfare state futures in this up-to-date
study - essential reading to grasp the pace and directions of
change.
