Sommario/riassunto |

"This book makes a timely and unique contribution to the field of European Union studies drawing on interdisciplinary insights from economics, law and political science to shed light on crucial questions relating to the depth and size of the EU in times of war, including enlargement, migration, citizenship, and new technologies. The broad scope of the book will be highly useful for scholars, practitioners, and students interested in how the EU grapples with these pressing challenges." - Niklas Bremberg, Associate Professor of Political Science, Stockholm University, Sweden This open access book, the eighth volume in the series of Interdisciplinary European Studies, explores the implications of the EU’s size and depth at a time of war in Europe. Russia’s fateful decision to invade Ukraine in 2022 has put the question of EU enlargement back on the political agenda and, again, the implications of a larger and more diverse EU bring key principles of integration to the fore. Addressing these issues, scholars from economics, law, and political science provide insights from previous EU enlargements and the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Based on up-to-date research findings, they provide succinct assessments of the challenges facing the EU in areas such as immigration, labour market integration, and adaptation to advanced technologies. To conclude, each chapter offers policy recommendations for decision-makers on European and national levels. Per Ekman is a researcher and Ax:son Johnson Fellow in Political Science at the Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden, and affiliated with the Department of Government, Uppsala University, Sweden. Björn Lundqvist is Professor of European Law at Stockholm University, Sweden. Anna Michalski is Professor in Political Science at the Department of Government, Uppsala University, Sweden, visiting Professor at the College of Europe, Bruges, and Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Lars Oxelheim is Professor of International Business and Finance at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway, Professor Emeritus at Lund University and affiliated with the Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN), Sweden. . |
