Differentiated Integration Workshop

Abstract

 

The research project "Differentiated Integration in Europe" is jointly conducted by the Chair of European Politics at the ETH Zurich and the Chair of International Relations and Conflict Management at the University of Konstanz and jointly funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) and the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project aims at detecting instances of  differentiated integration (DI), such as opt-outs and opt-ins, in the bodies of primary and secondary EU law, at compiling a comprehensive DI dataset covering the period 1958-2011 and at describing and explaining the extent of DI at the system, country and policy level using rational-intergovernmentalist, constructivist and institutionalist theories, on the one hand, and quantitative methods of the social sciences, on the other.
