Member State Integration Models

KÖNYVISMERTETÉS

Abstract

All member states were subject to the same rules in the pre-Maastricht unitary structure of European integration.  Multi-speed integration is possible in the Economic and  Monetary Union system: different governance models,  complex institutional conditions. What changes could the  construction of a “European economic governance” or a “  full” economic union bring to the institutional structure of  the EU? How would the situation of Member States in and  out of the euro area evolve under these circumstances?  What differences might there be between Member States in  the application of EU rules? What role could enhanced  cooperation play in the deeper integration of a narrower  group of Member States? How might the position of the  Mediterranean periphery and the “new Member States” of Central and Eastern Europe evolve? Among other things,  these questions are answered in this volume.
