Routledge - Understanding Conflicts of Sovereignty in the EU

Explore the complex dynamics of power and autonomy in the European Union with this academic study from Routledge. As recent crises have sparked intense debates regarding authority, this book addresses a significant gap in political science research by examining the concept of sovereignty in depth. This publication provides both theoretical reflections and empirical analyses to help readers understand modern tensions within the EU. It moves beyond surface-level discussions to investigate the specific conflicts between four distinct types of sovereignty, starting with national sovereignty and the autonomy of the Westphalian nation-state. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in international economics and political science, this work offers a structured look at how sovereignty is being redefined in a changing European landscape. It serves as a vital resource for anyone studying the legal and political structures that shape the European Union today.
