Rafał Riedel – författare

This book examines differentiated integration in Europe, providing incisive analyses of domestic politics determinants – political conflict, party responses, citizens’ preferences and other supply and demand side elements.

The four countries compared – Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – afford rich diversity and offer broad empirical material available for cross-country analyses. Featuring interdisciplinary research, this book draws together recent developments in the evolution of European integration differentiation – its dynamics and determinants.

This monograph will be of key interest to scholars and students of European integration, comparative politics, political psychology, international relations, and more broadly to European (area) studies.

Chapter 5 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial (CC-BY-NC) 4.0 license.

Comparative in approach, the book brings together a wide range of scholarship on differentiated integration and varieties of capitalism to explore the diversities across Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the UK. Riedel and Anusik explain the correlations and causality between the level, scope, and depth of differentiation in the European integration process, as well as the socio-economic parameters that define the varieties of capitalism in specific EU Member States. Ultimately, they find that these inter-dependencies are dynamic and reveal a wealth of interesting features, especially in the post-Brexit era.

Interdisciplinary in scope, this book is an essential read for students and scholars of political economy, European politics and policy, international relations, and evolutionary economics. A deep dive into the variety and complexity of differentiation in European integration, it is also of value to policymakers across Europe working in integration.
