European Integration and the Problem of the State

A Critique of the Bordering of Europe

Beschreibung

This study argues that the practices of European integration reproduce, rather than transcend, the practices of modern statecraft. Therefore, the project of European integration is plagued by similar ethico-political dilemmas as the modern state, and is ultimately animated by a similar desire to either expel or interiorize difference.

Rezensionen

"In his book, Stefan Borg examines European integration by looking at the discursive construction of the European Union (EU), applying an analytical, theoretical and empirical research-based perspective. ... The book is essential reading for all students with an interest in European Studies." (Adrian Favero, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, 2017)

"Stefan Borg's new book offers an original entry point into the maze of EU ontology. ... Borg's volume is engaging, well-structured and nicely written. ... Modularity makes the book, or excerpts taken from it, suitable assignments for students in their late master or early graduate school classes. Outside academia, it may well cater to EU experts and practitioners with a taste for politically engaged theorisation." (Furio Stamati, LSE Review of Books, February, 2016)
