Abstract

Research on differentiated integration (DI) in the European Union (EU) has focused on the causes, conditions, and patterns of differentiation in European integration. By contrast, we know less about its effects on institutional outcomes and public support; moreover, alternatives to de jure DI in providing flexibility are still rarely accounted for. This introduction to the special issue takes stock of, and discusses omissions, in the current literature on DI. We propose an analytical framework, centering on efficiency and legitimacy, to study the effects of different types of DI. We use this framework to motivate the choice and assess the contributions of the articles selected for this special issue.

欧盟的差别化一体化:制度效应、公众舆论和可选择的灵活性安排

欧盟对差异化一体化的研究主要集中在欧洲一体化差异化的原因、条件和模式上。相比之下，我们对其对体制成果和公众支持的影响知之甚少；此外，在提供灵活性方面，法律上DI的替代方案仍然很少被考虑。这期特刊的引言总结了当前DI文献中的遗漏。我们提出了一个以效率和合法性为中心的分析框架，以研究不同类型DI的影响。我们使用这个框架来激励选择，并评估为本期特刊选择的文章的贡献。

期刊介绍： European Union Politics is an international academic journal for advanced peer-reviewed research and scholarship on all aspects of the process of government, politics and policy in the European Union. It aims to stimulate debate and provide a forum to bridge the theoretical and empirical analysis on the political unification of Europe. It represents no particular school or approach, nor is it wedded to any particular methodology. In particular it welcomes articles that offer a new theoretical argument, analyze original data in a novel fashion or present an innovative methodological approach. The Editors invite submissions from all sub-fields of contemporary political science, including international relations, comparative politics, public administration, public policy and political theory.
