Abstract

The sixth volume in the Interdisciplinary European Studies assesses the changes that are taking place in the EU’s policies, institutions, and political structures. On the eve of a new chapter of European integration in the dark shadow of the war in Ukraine, it is high time to assess the changes that have taken place in recent time and consider whether current developments are taking the EU on the route towards federalism or if flexible integration patterns dominate. It is crucial to assess the future direction of European integration at a time when the EU is facing challenges that will test the resilience of its political structures and ability to take common action. The book brings together scholars from economics, law, and political science to provide insights into a number of issues with a bearing on the future of the EU.
