Representations of Heterogeneity in the EU

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, one-size-fits-all-policies have increasingly come under pressure in the EU, as exemplified in the Euro and refugee crises and through the Brexit vote. Often (though not always), the resistance to such policies expresses legitimate concerns for respect of heterogeneity between member states. This panel welcomes papers that either empirically explore how the EU has responded to requests to represent heterogeneity or normatively explore how the EU ought to respond to such requests.
