This Open Access book offers a novel view on the benefits of a
lasting variation between the member states in the EU. In order to
bring together thirty very different European states and their
citizens, the EU will have to offer more scope for variation.
Unlike the existing differentiation by means of opt-outs and
deviations, variation is not a concession intended to resolve
impasses in negotiations; it is, rather, a different structuring
principle. It takes differences in needs and in democratically
supported convictions seriously. A common core remains necessary,
specifically concerning the basic principles of democracy, rule of
law, fundamental rights and freedoms, and the common market. By
taking this approach, the authors remove the pressure to embrace
uniformity from the debate about the EU's future. The book
discusses forms of variation that fall both within and outside the
current framework of European Union Treaties. The scope for these
variations is mapped out in three domains: the internal market; the
euro; and asylum, migration and border control.
