Theorizing European Integration

Fully revised and updated throughout, Theorizing European Integration 2nd edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical study of European integration. Combining perspectives from international relations, comparative politics and social and political theory, Dimitris N. Chryssochoou offers a complete overview of the many competing approaches that have sought to capture and explain the evolving political nature of the European Union (EU) and its qualitative transition from a union of states to a polity in its own right.

Dimitris N. Chryssochoou is Associate Professor of International Organization at the University of Crete. He has held visiting posts at the LSE, Cambridge, Columbia, Athens and Panteion Universities, as well as at the Hellenic Centre for European Studies and the Centre for European Constitutional Law in Athens.
