Reviews

Finally! Everything you ever wanted to know about differentiated integration, and then more. Wish I had this comprehensive handbook when I was writing my PhD on the subject in the 1990s. A wealth of well structured, clear and accessible information on a complex subject. Alexander Stubb, Professor and Director, EUI, Florence; Former Prime Minister of Finland Differentiation is here to stay, and at the latest Brexit has made it clear that differentiation in Europe encompasses both integration and disintegration processes. This is the core message of this timely Handbook which shows the breadth of this phenomenon in detail thanks to an impressive list of contributors. It is an excellent go-to resource for all scholars of European Studies seeking to understand the challenges of 'unity in diversity'. Sieglinde Gstoehl, Director of Studies, College of Europe, Belgium This handbook is an invaluable resource on differentiation-involving both integration and disintegration-in the Europe Union. Its stellar list of contributors offer a plethora of insights into the many different ways in which the EU has not only differentially integrated with regard to institutions, policy areas, and territory, but also dis-integrated, as in the case of Brexit. A must-read for all those concerned with the ins-and-outs of EU integration. Vivien Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor, Boston University, USA
