Differentiated integration in the European Union: Towards a Comparative Regionalism Perspective
In this contribution I examine three regions outside Europe, all of which have used forms of differentiated integration as a means to solve otherwise intractable problems and/or export their policy preferences, ideals and bargains to key external actors. I argue that if we examine the European Union (EU) as one case of regional integration/regionalism among many, rather than a unique entity, we can develop a more nuanced view of differentiated in…
Greening Integration Theory: Normative Basis, Initial Applications
In this article, I set out the normative contours of a green approach to integration theory. The aim is not to generate a grand theory, but rather to establish a means to critique and evaluate integration processes from a green perspective. First, I set out in more detail the metatheoretical issues at play in shifting from a conventional understanding of theory and its purposes to a green perspective, presenting Stoker’s concept of ‘evaluative th…

Greatly exaggerated’: The death of EU studies–new regionalism dialogue? A reply to Jørgensen and Valbjørn
In a recent piece in this journal Jørgensen and Valbjørn develop a typology of intellectual dialogue across fields that yields rather negative conclusions about the prospects for sustainable dialogue between ‘European studies’ and the ‘new regionalism’. This response disputes this pessimistic conclusion. First, it is argued that while their derivation of models of dialogue is impressive, it is nonetheless incomplete. Using Jørgensen and Valbjørn’…
Usages of Europe’ and Europeanisation: Evidence from the Regionalisation of Sweden
This article explores the recent regionalisation of Swedish governance – both policy and structure – in order to explore some of the aspects of research on Europeanisation that scholars in the field have recently signalled as especially problematic. We pay particular attention to the role of political cleavages, conflict and contestation, and to the construction and use of policy discourses surrounding European integration as a means of affecting…
Spillover in a soft policy era? Evidence from the Open Method of Co-ordination in education and training
In this paper we re-examine early neofunctionalist concepts of spillover, spill-around and build-up, and apply them to the case of the Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC) in education and training policy. We show that even an EU at 'the end of integration' can bind its Member States more closely together over time. In this way, we add to recent analyses of unanticipated spillover in 'hard' policies by showing that such can be the outcome of 'soft'…
Greening the European Union for legitimacy? A cautionary reading of Europe 2020
Several scholars have argued that environment policy may provide a way for the EU to legitimize itself while producing genuinely useful public policy. This paper argues that such an aim is laudable, but that the EU is not yet ideationally equipped to tale such a step. The EU's key strategic document for the next decade, Europe 2020, is analyzed from two key "green" perspectives – environmentalism and the more demanding perspective of ecologism – …

Towards a conceptual framework for regionalisation: Bridging 'new regionalism' and 'integration theory
This paper argues that the divide between 'new' and 'old' regionalisms in international politics is increasingly seen as exaggerated, but that the conceptual implications of this non-difference have yet to be taken seriously. The attempt to build a new body of theory to explain and describe recent forms of region-building—the 'New Regionalist Approach'—is mistaken, and falsely sets up classical integration theory as an Other in an act of auto-def…
