The EU expects to strengthen the integration of the individual member states by becoming increasingly involved in a number of new areas. Areas such as a common defence policy, taxation, and a common currency have met with a degree of resistance across Europe. This text studies the growing tension between the views of the institutions of the EU in Brussels to increase European integration and the belief of many member states that they must safeguard certain essential national interests. The author does not focus on the "hard" law in each of the areas discussed but concentrates on examining the policy questions that surround these issues. Extensive use of case studies illustrates the points.
