This 2004 volume, edited by Gary Marks and Marco Steenbergen, explores the ideological conflicts emerging from Europe's significant reallocation of authority. Featuring contributions from various scholars, it analyzes political contestation in the EU, revealing that these conflicts are deeply rooted in longstanding issues in Western European politics.

European politics has been reshaped in recent decades by a dual process of centralization and decentralization. This dual process is known as "multi-level governance". This text argues that its emergence in the second half of the 20th century is a watershed in the political development of Europe.
