Summary:

"Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. In this prescient Research Agenda leading experts explore emerging and future research in EU politics. Leading experts in the field analyse current trends in the EU, including digitalization and a change of paradigm in external foreign policies. The book is framed within the context of the Green transition from an exponential growth based on fossil fuels to sustainable development using renewable energies, and how this shift has influenced key political shifts across Europe. Chapters explore a range of issues, including relationships with Russia, the EU's enlargement process, the shifting relationship of the institutional triangle and the growing securitization of migration and borders. The contributing authors also assess adjacent policies of the EU created through spillover effects, the EU's cyber policies as well as both the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) and the EUs Cohesion Policy. In light of more than a decade of crises in the EU, this Research Agenda is a timely and vital resource for students and scholars of EU politics, international relations, security studies and political economy, and also an informative read for policymakers in these areas"-- Provided by publisher.
