“…A hallmark program of European Commission under Jacques Delors, the single market initiative led to greater economic integration in sectors such as trade, research and development, and transport, but financial services lagged behind (see Howarth and Sadeh 2010;Quaglia 2010). In 1999, the Commission launched the Financial Services Action Plan to reinvigorate financial sector harmonization.…”

The series maps the range of disciplines addressing the study of European public administration. In particular, contributions to the series will engage with the role and nature of the evolving bureaucratic processes of the European Union, including the study of the EU's civil service, of organization aspects of individual institutions such as the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the External Action Service, the European Parliament, the European Court and the European Central Bank and of inter-institutional relations among these and other actors. The series also welcomes contributions on the growing role of EU agencies, networks of technical experts and national officials, and of the administrative dimension of multilevel governance including international organizations. Of particular interest in this respect will be the emergence of a European diplomatic service and the management of the EU's expanding commercial, foreign, development, security and defence policies, as well as the role of institutions in a range of other policy areas of the Union.Beyond this strong focus of EU administrative governance, the series will also include texts on the development and practice of administrative governance within European states. This may include contributions to the administrative history of Europe, which is not just about rules and regulations governing bureaucracies, or about formal criteria for measuring the growth of bureaucracies, but rather about the concrete workings of public administration, both in its executive functions as in its involvement in policy-making. Furthermore the series will include studies on the interaction between the national and European level, with particular attention for the impact of the EU on domestic administrative systems.

“…It involves adopting different formal and informal arrangements (hard and soft)'. The focus on differentiated integration to examine the relationship between EMU, BU and financial market integration makes sense because only a subset of EU member states opted to participate in EMU and BU, whereas all member states participated in market integration which remains the 'constitutional core' of European integration (Howarth and Sadeh 2010; see also Dyson and Marcussen 2010). In this context, both neo-functionalism -and its focus on spilloverand historical institutionalism -and its focus on path dependency -would lead us to expect 7 that Euro Area member states would be subject to different spillovers and a distinct path dependency compared to 'euro-outsiders'.…”

This contribution combines neo-functionalism and historical institutionalism to understand the implications of differentiated integration in Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and Banking Union (BU) for the single market in financial services in the European Union (EU). From the 1980s, the relaunch of the Single Market and monetary integration in the EU were presented by the supporters of EMU as mutually reinforcing, as in the logic of the Commission's Report 'One Market, One Money'. Initially, EMU appeared to reinforce financial integration, especially in the Euro Area banking sector, even though EMU was a case of differentiated integration in the EU. Subsequently, the incomplete EMU triggered the sovereign debt crisis, which undermined financial market integration and was addressed through the establishment of BU, which reinforced differentiated integration. Both EMU and BU have negative implications for the 'singleness' of the single market in financial services, potentially resulting in 'One Money, Two Markets'.

“…Empirical studies of differentiated integration also became more prominent from 2005 onwards. These include a special issue of the Journal of European Integration on Euro‐outsiders (Miles, ) as well as studies on the impact of non‐eurozone membership (for example, Marcussen, ), opt‐outs in Justice and Home Affairs (Adler‐Nissen, , , ; Balzacq and Hadfield, ), the Single Market (Howarth and Sadeh, ) and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (for example, Lavenex, ). Two influential EU‐funded research networks (CONNEX and EUROGOV) concluded that even the study of European integration was unable to integrate (Kohler‐Koch and Larat, ) and that the EU was characterized by multiple – and thus differentiated – ‘modes’ of governance (see Héritier and Rhodes, ).…”

In the aftermath of the British referendum to leave the European Union and the European Commission's 'White Paper on the Future of Europe', it is not only time to take stock of the existing literature on differentiated integration, but also to rethink the perimeters of disintegration. We argue that phenomena such as Brexit embrace forms of differentiation which trigger the need for conceptualizing differentiated disintegration altogether. This article first sketches the path of the scholarly debate in a chronological way to grasp the breadth of existing literature. Second, it discusses differentiated disintegration as a potentially new area for research. Mapping several scenarios for future research, we propose that differentiated (dis)integration needs to be conceived as a negotiated, but profoundly path-dependent process, which is structurally locked-in, and deeply conditioned by pre-existing organizations and institutions of European integration.
