Synopsis

The Covid-19 pandemic crisis, which the world has been experiencing since the beginning of 2020, caused a brutal negative shock in the economies. It raised new doubts and challenges about the European integration project, making the prospect of dissolution of the European Union something possible, albeit undesirable.

The book The European Integration Process: Crisis and Resilience in the Aftermath of the Covid-19 Pandemic analyzes these events, with the contribution of 41 authors, from universities and research centers in several European countries, and also from other continents. Its objective was to bring together in a single work four perspectives for European integration in a post-pandemic context: i) the perspective of the Eurozone countries; ii) the perspective of candidate countries for the Eurozone; iii) the “vision” to the East of the candidate countries to the European Union, and iv) the vision of the rest of the world. The book is divided into four parts, each corresponding to one of these perspectives.

The book is coordinated by António Portugal Duarte (FEUC), Srdjan Redzepagic (Université Côte d’Azur) and Fátima Sol Murta (FEUC).
