This book analyses in detail the electoral manifestos and programmes presented by twenty-two parties during the European Parliamentary elections in 2009. The research indicates that radical right-wing parties usually have Europhobic impulses, however, radical left-wing parties are, in theory, favourable to European integration, but dispute the direction currently imposed by the EU authorities.

The book brings together 3 different traditions of historical study: national politics, European integration, and political parties. This book fills a crucial gap of European historiography by comparing national parties' discourses/platforms/policies on European integration through national, comparative and transnational approaches.

This volume looks at European cross-border cooperation from a multiplicity of perspectives, examining its motivations, its actors, its inclusion in the context of international relations, its organizational models, its outcomes and its impact on labour markets, economic development, neighbourhood policies and the creation of new identities.
