Architects of disunion? Southern Europe, the crisis and the European Union (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Bull, M. (2011, September). Architects of disunion? Southern Europe, the crisis and the European Union. Presented at European Disunion: The Multidimensional Power Struggles, Holiday Inn Hull Marina (University of Hull)

This paper views the southern European enlargement in the 1980s and the EU-southern European relationship as based on a form of ‘trade-off’ between ‘solidarity’ on the one hand and ‘discipline’ on the other. It will suggest that, while the ‘trade-off... Read More about Architects of disunion? Southern Europe, the crisis and the European Union.
