In recent years the Lisbon Treaty has increased the power of the federalist-inclined European Parliament, at the same time as the European Council supports the idea that EU policies should primarily protect individual national interests. This ‘national egoism’ is paralleled by the rise of nationalism, all of which poses a challenge for scholars, many of whom support more Europeanization on the grounds that international cooperation has led to innovation in research. Therefore there is a need to theoretically, conceptually, and empirically research the idea of a ‘European society’. This book was first published as a special issue of Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research.
