Problems of Flexibility -- 5. Making Flexibility Work. 330 $a"Flexibility is emerging as a key dynamic of European integration. This shift towards flexibility has major implications. The EU will have to cope with more complexity and less transparency. It also affects the way in which European integration is viewed since it makes a state-like outcome to the process far less likely. Alex Warleigh looks at why flexibility has become such an important feature of the EU. He examines its history, and puts forward a typology to explain the models by which it is understood. He goes on to explore the hazards of flexibility and to look at what it has to offer, arguing that it is best seen as a desirable part of the integration process rather than as a problem. Flexibility, he argues is an important mechanism for the realization of the EU's slogan "unity in diversity"."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContemporary European studies ;$v15. 606 $aAutonomy 606 $2Political science & theory 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAutonomy. 676 $a341.242/2 700 $aWarleigh$b Alex$01618303 712 02$aUniversity Association for Contemporary European Studies. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825042303321 996 $aFlexible integration$93949941 997 $aUNINA
