European Security in Integration Theory : Contested Boundaries

This book examines federalism and functionalism – two fundamental, yet largely forgotten, theories of international integration. Following the recent outbreak of the war in Ukraine, policy practitioners and scholars have been in search of a deeper understanding of the likely causes of the conflict and its consequences for the European security architecture. Various theories have been deployed to this end, but international and European integration theory remains conspicuously absent. The author shows how the core tenets of integration theories developed after World War I, particularly how they viewed territoriality and geopolitical boundaries, remain as relevant today as they were almost 100 years ago.Author: Zwolski, Kamil,author Contributors: Zwolski, Kamil,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018 Published/Release Date: 9 May 2019 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Springer International Publishing AG Author/Director/Artist: Kamil Zwolski Dimension (cm): 210x148x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x210x148 mm Item Weight (g): 300 Package Weight (g): 454
