This edited volume explores the opportunities and challenges facing
the European Union in the future from different disciplines and
assesses the EU's prospects across various policy areas. Using the
European Commission's 2017 White Paper presenting five different
scenarios for the future of Europe to 2050 as an organising
framework for analysis and debate, the volume reflects upon the
drivers of the EU's future, including its changing place in an
evolving world, a transformed economy and society, heightened
threats and concerns about security and borders, and questions of
trust and legitimacy. The concluding chapter summarises and
compares the findings to determine which of the scenarios is the
most instructive to understand and plan European Futures to 2050,
and beyond. This book will be of key interest to scholars and
students of European integration, EU politics/studies, and more
broadly international relations, as well as European policy-makers.
In recent decades, the external action of the European Union (EU)
has been undergoing considerable change. An expansion of the EU's
external policy portfolio can be observed in many areas as previous
policies for internal purposes - such as competition, energy, the
environment, justice and home affairs or monetary governance but
also gender, science, culture or higher education - have developed
external dimensions. This book addresses the EU's potential to
become a more joined-up global actor in its external engagement. It
uses a single and innovative analytical framework to examine three
clusters of policies: EU internal sectoral and cross-cutting
policies with long-standing external engagement, those which have
been undergoing considerable change, and originally internal
policies whose external dimensions are comparatively more recent.
It identifies key explanatory factors for the emergence of (certain
forms of) EU external engagement and identifies patterns of the
evolving relations between EU internal and external sectoral
policies. As such, the book examines and assesses exciting new
empirical and theoretical research avenues into European
integration studies and offers insights into the extent to which
the EU may be considered a more joined-up global actor developing
sectoral diplomacies. This text will be of key interest to scholars
and students as well as practitioners in the fields of European
Union politics, European Union foreign policy, European Politics,
diplomacy studies, and more broadly law and international
relations.

This book examines the domestic and international dimensions of
European Union (EU) competition policy, particularly mergers,
anti-competitive practices and state aids. The authors argue that
important changes in EU competition policy are having profound
effects on the global political economy, and these changes are best
understood as European Commission responses to new domestic and
international pressures. Using a two-level game analytical
framework that is both intra-EU and global in scope, Damro and Guay
investigate a wide variety of domestic and foreign public and
private actors that interact in crucial ways to determine the
development and implementation of EU competition policy. They
address this broad question: In what ways do changing external and
internal factors affect the evolution of the EU's competition
policy and the role that the Commission plays in it? Among the
conclusions is that the EU - and particularly the European
Commission - has become a leading global regulator.
