Overview

This book deals with the political philosophy that underpins theories of European integration and develops an understanding of Europeanization based on downloading and up loading. Downloading is the means by which EU policy is amalgamated with domestic legislation and institutions. Up loading indicates the use of national governments or sub national interests in the development of European integration processes. European integration takes place at the supranational level and in general, is distinct from Europeanization. Through a study of financial services regulation these processes are made explicit.
