Excellent- More about The Dynamics of European Integration: Causes and Consequences of Institutional Choices
Thomas König's new theory of (supra)national partyism explains the causes and consequences of choices made by political leaders for Europe, using a game-theoretical perspective to look at how conditions for leaders change through accessions of new members, shocks, and crises. It separates institutional choices into two different games played by office- and policy-seeking political leaders: the interstate summit game and the national game of party competition. The Dynamics of European Integration reveals how the reorganization of electoral systems can harness dissensus and polarization among diverse national constituencies to enable the promotion of solidarity and trust in the EU.

Europe has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including Brexit, COVID-19, financial crises, and global tensions, which have highlighted the need to understand the European Union's (EU) ability to remain united or disintegrate. Examining the EU's evolution since 1993 has revealed several intriguing puzzles, such as how national government functions are transferred to the EU without reforming the EU itself, how increased transparency is announced while decisions are made in informal meetings, and how the polarizing rise of Euroscepticism can be managed to promote solidarity and trust among Europeans. To address these puzzles, Thomas König introduces a new theory of (supra)national partyism to explain the causes and consequences of political leaders' choices for Europe. He employs a game-theoretical perspective to analyze how conditions for leaders change through membership expansions, shocks, and crises, and divides institutional choices into two distinct games played by office- and policy-seeking political leaders: the interstate summit game and the national game of party competition. "The Dynamics of European Integration" further explores how the reorganization of electoral systems can harness dissensus and polarization among diverse national constituencies to promote solidarity and trust in the EU.
