Is differentiated integration driving the EU apart?

On 9 November 2018, Frank Schimmelfennig gave a talk on the topic of differentiated integration as a threat or solution to the current state of European integration. The seminar was part of a series co-organized by SIEPS and the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI).

What are the prospects for further European integration? How to address concerns of legitimacy and democracy in the EU? What is the status of common values inside the Union and how does that affect the EU's global role?

Frank Schimmelfennig is Professor of European Politics at ETH, Zürich. He is a leading scholar of European integration. His main research interest lies in the theory of European integration and, more specifically, in EU enlargement, differentiated integration, democracy promotion, and democratization

The seminar gathered key perspectives on the future of the European Union, and resulted in an anthology published in the spring.
