“…The political importance of EU welfare regulation has increased over time, as evidenced by the UK Brexit debate, in which 'welfare tourism' featured prominently (Blauberger et al 2018). The topic has also become increasingly politicized in several member states (Blauberger et al 2018;Cappelen and Peters 2018;Roos 2018;Roos and Westerveen 2019). A new political cleavage has been identified in Europe, juxtaposing support for welfare state 'closure'primarily expressed by receiving member statesagainst support for the free movement of labour, a position primarily held by sending member states (Dancygier and Walter 2015;Ferrera and Pellegata 2018;Hemerijck 2013;Teney, Lacewell, and De Wilde 2014;Walter 2017).…”

Migration is often perceived as a challenge to the welfare state. To manage this challenge, advanced welfare states have established transgovernmental networks. This article examines how domestic factors condition the interaction of representatives of advanced welfare states when they cooperate on transnational welfare governance. Based on new survey data, it compares who interacts with whom in one of the oldest transgovernmental networks of the European Union (EU) – the network that deals with EU citizens' rights to cross-border welfare. First, the authors perform a welfare cluster analysis of EU-28 and test whether institutional similarity explains these interactions. Furthermore, they test whether the level and kind of migration explains interaction and examine the explanatory value of administrative capacity. To test what drives interactions, the study employs social network analysis and exponential random graph models. It finds that cooperation in networked welfare governance tends to be homophilous, and that political cleavages between sending and receiving member states are mirrored in network interactions. Domestic factors are key drivers when advanced welfare states interact.

“…Similarly, as other studies point out (Juhász, 2006;Knogler & Lankes, 2012;Gonzálvez, 2016;Cappelen & Peters, 2018), the EU economic model is a mixture of economic patterns, all of them intermingling, as an expression of multiculturalism and functionality, bringing together old economic models recognized as traditional and new ones, prompted by the need for convergence and higher economic efficiency. Other authors (Bolea et al, 2018) also uphold the idea that the European Union architecture and the EU economic space were accomplished by promoting economic, social, and territorial cohesion, sustainable economic development, which have been the main pillars of economic progress and personal welfare.…”

The main research aim is to investigate and test the long-term existence of a balanced relationship (cointegration) between business demographics and economic growth, expressed in terms of real GDP per capita, and to estimate the econometric models expressing relationships between analyzed variables in European economy. Our The study has focused on ten out of the eleven former communist countries, currently members of the European Union, during the 2006–2016 time period. Croatia was left out due to the shortness of the time series available for it, that the study would have required. These findings have significant implications in designing and shaping the future business models in European former communist countries, and increase convergence. The results obtained confirm the existence of long-term balanced relationships between the variables examined, the forms of which however vary from one cluster of states to another.

“…In terms of over-compensation, in times of the macroeconomic austerity, allocating too many resources to the European neighbourhood could potentially lead to (perceived) distributional conflicts within the EU and a drop in the public’s trust in the EU (see, e.g., Hobolt and de Vries 2016). This drop in public confidence could in turn further harm the EU’s overall political legitimacy, which is in danger not only because of the financial crisis (see, e.g., Tosun et al, 2014), but also because of the handling of the refugee crisis and the Brexit (see, e.g., Cappelen and Peters, 2018).…”

Why differentiated integration is such a common practice in Europe: A rational explanation

With Brexit imminent, the debate on the need for differentiated integration (DI) by means of opting-out has gained new momentum. At the same time, non-member states decide to adopt European Union (EU) rules as exemplified by the European Neighbourhood Policy. In light of these opposing observations, we examine the EU’s disposition to supply DI. We outline the strategic interactions of the EU member states or non-members in the context of two forms of DI: opting-out and inducing-in. In the case of opting-out, EU member states can refrain from adopting EU rules; inducing-in refers to providing non-member states with incentives to adopt EU rules. We show that the information asymmetries inherent to the strategic interactions result in a situation in which the EU is likely to supply opportunities to opt-out for member states to a much greater extent than necessary. Furthermore, the EU is likely to offer more compensation to non-member states in exchange for adopting EU rules than it would actually need to.
