Autonomy under complex interdependence I

Abstract

The EU has established a wide range of relations with third countries, which vary considerably in breadth and depth. The most compelling offer third countries access to and participation in EU policies, including the internal market. These relations are generally understood under the heading of external differentiated integration (EDI). EDI can have profound implications for third countries’ autonomy, with autonomy referring to self-chosen goals and ability to pursue these. The panel seeks to understand what autonomy means under conditions of complex interdependence and compares and contrasts closely affiliated non-members with EU members on that count. Contributions to the panel also compare and contrast state with individual autonomy and examines members and non-members on that count, as well. These examinations shed new light on the distinct nature of EU differentiation for states and citizens alike.
