Summary:

This book explores a new, important perspective for an expanding Europe. As integration attempts to accommodate an even greater kaleidoscope of economic interests and political positions, margins and marginality become visible as perpetual features of the "integrated" Europe and permanent elements in the dynamics shaping it. The essays here examine forces which create margins and shape core-periphery relations.
