While globalization affects the sovereignty of every nation-state, European countries face special challenges due to the emergence of the European Union. "The State of Europe" explores the transformation of ideas of statehood in light of the EU's continued development, including rapidly changing notions of democracy, representation, and citizenship alongside major shifts in economic regulation. This book will be an essential guide for students and teachers of economics, political science, and international relations, as well as anyone interested in the expanding role of the EU worldwide.
