European Variations as a Key to Cooperation
This Open Access book offers a novel view on the benefits of a lasting variation between the member states in the EU. In order to bring together thirty very different European states and their citizens, the EU will have to offer more scope for variation. Unlike the existing differentiation by means of opt-outs and deviations, variation is not a concession intended to resolve impasses in negotiations; it is, rather, a different structuring principle. It takes differences in needs and in democratically supported convictions seriously. A common core remains necessary, specifically concerning the basic principles of democracy, rule of law, fundamental rights and freedoms, and the common market. By taking this approach, the authors remove the pressure to embrace uniformity from the debate about the EU’s future. The book discusses forms of variation that fall both within and outside the current framework of European Union Treaties. The scope for these variations is mapped out in three domains: the internal market; the euro; and asylum, migration and border control.This Open Access book offers a novel view on the benefits of a lasting variation between the member states in the EU.

Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy The Hague, The Netherlands. Emina Ćerimović was affiliated to the WRR from 2016 until 2018. She holds a bachelor’s degree in European Studies and a master’s degree in European Policy from the University of Amsterdam. Inspired by the discrepancy between the con- flicts that resulted from the disintegration of her birth country Yugoslavia and the ‘never again’ slogan embodied by the European Union, she developed an interest in the soft power of the EU. Her master thesis investigates the post-war education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its obstruction to interethnic reconciliation and lasting peace, specifically shedding light on the (lack of) efforts by the inter- national community regarding policy reforms in this field. She conducted intern- ships at the Europe Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the NGO Women to Women in Sarajevo. Currently, Emina works as a policy officer at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment on subjects that relate to migration, integration and resilient society. She is a board member of the Hartman Young Professionals for Europe network.
