European Research Reloaded: Cooperation and Integration among Europeanized States / Edition 1

by Ronald Holzhacker, Markus Haverland

Overview

This book argues that a third wave of research on the EU is needed to adequately understand the increased interconnectedness between the European and national political levels. In particular, the book asks: how has Europeanization affected current modes of integration and cooperation in the EU? The authors argue that deeper integration in other areas requires a degree of input legitimacy that is currently lacking in the EU.
