Restructuring Europe: Centre Formation, System Building, and Political Structuring Between the Nation State and the European Union

By Stefano Bartolini

Book Overview

This latest work by one of the Europe's foremost political scientists presents a radically new theory of European integration. Focusing on the historical configuration of the European nation-states, Bartolini traces the trajectories of modern-day European integration, situating it as a new historical phase in the development of Europe. This book answers key issues, such as: Is the EU an attempt at state formation? Is it an attempt at centre formation without nation building? Is it a proces of centre formation without democratization?
