The European Union and the Rise of Regionalist Parties
Using a cross-national, quantitative study and a detailed case study of the pro-independence Scottish National Party, demonstrates that supranational integration and subnational fragmentation are related in theoretical and predictable ways. Posits that the EU makes smaller states more viable and politically attractive by diminishing the relative economic and political advantages of larger-sized states.
A Europe of Regions? Regional Integration, Sub-national Mobilization and the Optimal Size of States
To explain this relationship, I suggest the following causal mechanism: European integration has created conditions under which regional groups (e.g. the Scottish) may not need the state (e.g. United Kingdom) to survive internationally. For the viability theory to explain this relationship, though, elites and citizens must recognize and take advantage of the new political opportunity structure. For elites, I find that regional political parties are Europhiles, not Euroskeptics, consistent with the theoretical expectations of the viability theory. In Scotland, I find that citizens considered independence a more viable option within the European Union. The "Independence in Europe" option, as favored by the Scottish National Party, explains increased support for independence among Scottish respondents.
Europe's Contending Identities
This volume interrogates the implications of the persistence of nationalisms and newer, ethnic-religious identities for the emergence of a robust European identity. The collected essays intersect and are informed by the streams of scholarship on: contemporary ethnonationalism; the challenges associated with immigrant, particularly Muslim immigrant, incorporation; and the so-called new nationalism, including the illiberal ideas and policies promoted by extreme right political parties and groups.

Politicizing European Integration
This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the timely question of the politicization of European integration. It shows how this issue's complex linkages with traditional political divides pose a tough challenge to politicians and lead to bitter framing contests about its actual meaning.
