Today, the European Union faces challenges that not only threaten internal cohesion but also its position in the global system. This book is about the future of the EU in the light of global power transition taking place in the 21st Century and demonstrates how its future rests on a delicate balance between policy challenge, member states’ interests, and convergence or divergence of societal values across its peoples.

The book examines factors behind the decline of the EU relative to the rise of China and other powers in the global hierarchy and what policy options are available for EU leaders to implement in order to compete as a global actor. It analyses determinants of regional integration, key policy challenges the EU faces in its quest for an "ever deeper union" and identifies significant factors (i.e., power relations, economic relations, emergent social values across the EU) that can explain likelihood of further integration or conflict between EU member states.

This text will be essential reading to scholars, students and practitioners interested in European Union politics and International Relations and Security studies and Comparative politics
