Overview

This book is the result of a unique dialogue between researchers deeply engaged in the development of International Relations theory and those involved in more concrete interpretation of the development and enlargement of the European Union. It reflects on the relationship between international relations and political theory, linking this to the study of European integration. International Relations Theory and the Politics of European Integration focuses on the concepts of community, power and security and their role in the European Union. It features contributions from highly-respected international scholars, who consider subjects such as: * sovereignty and European integration * the EU and the politics of migration * the internationalisation of military security * the EU as a security actor * money, finance and power * the quest for legitimacy with regards to EU enlargement. This thought-provoking volume argues that the evolution of the European Union forces a reconsideration of many of our basic understandings of the foundations and structure of political life as a whole. It is of particular value for students and scholars of politics, international relations and European studies.
