More and more non-governmental organizations are developing transnational links that are usually more intensive within the EU, even if they often extend beyond its borders to the wider world. This multidisciplinary volume explores the importance of these structures, actors and relations for EU and European governance in the context of the theoretical debate about European integration in the social sciences.
