- Abstract
- We suggest that a renewed focus on integration (broadly conceived) would enable
the field to contemplate the ways in which crisis dynamics interconnect with and amplify three founding and (and unresolved) dilemmas of the European project.

These tensions open space for different theoretical perspectives on the dilemmas of the European project, in particular an agonistic cosmopolitical approach from within critical social theory. To better reveal and address the challenges discussed here, a pluralistic field is one in which all the humanities and social sciences have something to contribute to the ontological, epistemological, and crucially methodological questions of European integration, EU studies, and understanding the EU itself in order to make a different Europe possible.
