His book is an essential reference point both for those who want to know what happened to existing theories and for those who are seeking to understand how popular dissatisfaction with the European project is likely to have an impact.” –Professor Erik Jones, Johns Hopkins University, USA “This is a brave pioneering effort to make sense of the current European predicament. Curiously, we have numerous theories of European integration and virtually none regarding the opposite process. Hans Vollaard’s book helps us to map and explain European disintegration from diverse theoretical angles. Students and practitioners of the EU should pay attention to his arguments.” –Professor Jan Zielonka, University of Oxford, UK This book accounts for whether and how the path of the European Union (EU) has developed towards potential disintegration. These questions have become particularly relevant since the outbreak of the debt crises in the Eurozone and the Brexit referendum. The author critically subverts theories of European integration and analyses the rise and fall of federations, empires and states in a comparative perspective. The most promising theory presented here indicates that Brexit is not likely to be followed by other member states leaving the EU. Nevertheless, the EU has been undermined from within as it cannot adequately address Eurosceptic dissatisfaction from both the left and right. This book is an essential read for everyone interested in the EU and its future. 000839436 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000839436 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 000839436 650_0 $$aComparative government. 000839436 650_0 $$aEurope$$xPolitics and government 000839436 650_0 $$aEuropean Union 000839436 650_0 $$aInternational organization. 000839436 650_0 $$aPolitical Science and International Relations 000839436 650_0 $$aEuropean Union Politics 000839436 650_0 $$aEuropean Politics 000839436 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aVollaard, Hans$$tEuropean Disintegration : A Search for Explanations$$dLondon : Palgrave Macmillan Limited,c2018$$z9781137414649 000839436 830_0 $$aPalgrave Studies in European Union Politics Ser. 000839436 852__ $$bebk 000839436 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-41465-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000839436 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:839436$$pGLOBAL_SET 000839436 980__ $$aEBOOK 000839436 980__ $$aBIB 000839436 982__ $$aEbook 000839436 983__ $$aOnline 000839436 994__ $$a92$$bISE
