Why does the European Union struggle with its own, and the neighbouring, Other? To what extent has the European integrationist project affected the discourse about the core and the (semi-)periphery and been responsible for the repositioning of new EU members and their neighbourhoods? What is the role of European citizens in the whole debate? These are some of the questions addressed in this thought-provoking volume about the dilemmas surrounding the ever-uncertain European unity. A wide range of contributors draw upon valuable data to examine a broad selection of official discords and discrepancies characterizing the EU's relations with the Balkans, East-Central Europe and beyond. In addition to complementing the existing analyses of European political and socioeconomic development, the present findings are of great relevance for researchers, policymakers and general readership. In fact, they are essential if we want to see Europe develop.
