This book analyzes why these two countries joined at such a moment when in fact the EU's development towards neo-liberal economic policy - embodied in the Internal Market and covergence criteria of the Economic and Monetary Union - endangered the traditional Keynesian economic policy making, and at a time when the steps towards a Common Foreign and Security Policy threatened their neutrality. |

| Publisher Description: On January 1 1995, Austria and Sweden joined the European Union (EU). This book examines why these two countries joined at such a moment and studies their accession against the structural background of globalization. In this cutting-edge analysis, Andreas Bieler argues that conventional neo-functionalist and intergovernmentalist theories fail to explain such structural change as they take existing power structures as given. Therefore, he develops a neo-Gramscian perspective as an alternative approach to European integration. |
