Against the backdrop of a more differentiated European Union, this book delves into the intricate relationship between differentiation and domination within the EU, exploring how these dynamics have been reshaped amidst a series of significant challenges, including the financial and refugee crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the broader context of a more volatile and less rule-bound global landscape. In undertaking this examination, the book seeks to assess the extent to which these adaptations represent genuine shifts, leading to the emergence of new problems and complexities, or whether they offer potential opportunities for innovative solutions or even herald a new approach to governance that can mitigate the issues associated with domination.

The discussion of differentiation encompasses not only legal considerations but also takes into account structural and institutional arrangements, including patterns of path dependence and inherent biases. By examining these aspects, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play within the EU.

This book holds immense relevance for scholars and students engaged in the study of public sector crisis management, international organizations, and EU politics and studies. It offers valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of differentiation and domination in the EU and their implications for governance and policy-making at both regional and global levels.
