Restructuring Europe: Centre Formation, System Building, and Political Structuring Between the Nation State and the European Union

This latest work by one of the Europe's foremost political scientists presents a radically new theory of European integration. Focusing on the historical configuration of the European nation-states, Bartolini traces the trajectories of modern-day European integration, situating it as a new historical phase in the development of Europe. This book answers key issues, such as: Is the EU an attempt at state formation? Is it an attempt at centre formation without nation building? Is it a proces of centre formation without democratization?
