The interdependent and manifold global crises have seriously disrupted the European project. Valid solutions and alternatives cannot be found by remaining within structurally separated disciplines. The multidimensional and complex approach of political scientists, experts of international relations and European Studies, sociologists, economists, representatives of development studies, historians and philosophers provide fresh, new and complex insights as well as practical policy proposals for policy makers and politcians on both national and EU levels. In this volume, internationally recognized academics and young researchers look for answers to global challenges and outline the contours of a newly emerging ’glocalIty’ in European contexts.
