Abstract
This paper argues that differentiated integration can be understood more
thoroughly by using a multi-level approach that conceives of the nation state
as an aggregate of partly autonomous subunits and actors. The participation of
such components in European integration is influenced by a combination of
type of policy through which integration is pursued, national heterogeneity,
their loosely coupledness within national systems. By examining the case of
the European Research Area, we document patterns of differentiated
integration across governance levels and discuss how the following factors
shape these patterns: the competitive nature of the European distributive
instruments, stark variation in national and sub-national material conditions
and in the governance of national research systems, as well as the normative
and cognitive factors specific to the research policy sector. The conceptual and
policy-based implications to the debate on European differentiated integration
are discussed.
