This book investigates the concept of 'margins' within the process of European integration, exploring how peripheral regions, actors, and ideas have been shaped by and have, in turn, influenced the integration project. It examines the theoretical and practical implications of these margins, challenging conventional understandings of a uniformly advancing integration. The work draws on a range of case studies and theoretical frameworks to analyze the uneven development and diverse experiences within the European Union.

The book is likely to be regarded as a significant contribution to the study of European integration, offering a nuanced perspective that moves beyond a monolithic view of the process. Its focus on the 'margins' suggests an approach that is both theoretically rigorous and empirically grounded, appealing to academics and students of European politics and international relations. The work is expected to stimulate further debate on the diversity and complexity inherent in the European project.
