Negotiating Unity and Diversity in the European Union

Focusing on the European Union's approach to managing diversity, this book presents the EU as a complex polity that innovatively accommodates its members' differences. It challenges the notion of the EU as a unique entity, suggesting instead that it shares strategies with diverse states. By examining the EU's efforts to balance unity and diversity through state-like policies, the authors provide insights into how both the EU and similar polities can effectively respond to challenges posed by diverse identities and constituent groups.
