The spatialities of Europeanisation: territory, government and power in ‘EUrope’

TLDR
The authors argue that an examination of the under-researched scales and spaces of Europeanisation can furnish a more encompassing geographical understanding of this multifaceted suite of processes, and help address lacunae in contemporary social science accounts on Europeanisation's origins and contemporary manifestations under the imprimatur of European integration.
Abstract
Europeanisation is now widely researched in the social sciences, but a geographical contribution to these debates is lacking. Yet Europeanisation's myriad socialisation and learning processes have been configured over centuries by territorial propinquity and sites of government and power, with construction and projection of these continent-wide processes by political elites integral to nation building and latterly European integration, that is the building of ‘EUrope’. We argue here that an examination of the under-researched scales and spaces of Europeanisation can furnish a more encompassing geographical understanding of this multifaceted suite of processes, and help address lacunae in contemporary social science accounts on Europeanisation's origins and contemporary manifestations under the imprimatur of European integration.

Re-scaling ‘EU’rope: EU macro-regional fantasies in the Mediterranean

TL;DR: The authors argue that although there exists a vast literature by geographers and other scholars that engages with the production of EU-ropean spaces through regionalization, the policy literature generated by EU macro-regional experts appears to entirely ignore these debates, professing an understanding of regions that is a conceptual pastiche at best, and that entirely occludes the political and geopolitical implications of region-making within, at, and beyond ‘EU’rope-s borders.

Scales and networks of neoliberal climate governance: the regulatory and territorial logics of European Union emissions trading

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the regulatory and territorial logics underpinning the negotiation and implementation of the European Union emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) and argue that overlapping interpretations of the regulatory logic of emissions trading (as a cost-effective means of meeting climate objectives) by EU, state and industry actors provided the driving force for the creation of a Europeanised climate governance space and the consolidation of the EU’s governing authority in respect of the formal rule-making elements.
