What is it about?
This book is informed by in-depth empirical research by an international multi-disciplinary academic team into the changing position of Europe in the world according to human, trade of goods, firms, knowledge and capital flows. The analysis reveals Europe's extensive global functional relations and also identifies a regionalization process that extends beyond the EU territorial boundary.

Why is it important?
Highly relevant to debate about the future of the European Union as a political construction, the underpinning research reported in the book, allows critical analysis of whether the geography of the EU's external political relations is consistent with the geography of Europe’s functional relations. Importantly it also reveals ongoing European uneven development and economically vulnerable regions in contemporary globalization.
Perspectives
The book should be read by those with interests in the reality of Europe as a functional macro-region and those with a role in determining policy addressing economic growth and cohesion.
