"The Sociology of European Integration"
No full text[From the introduction]. In recent critical literature reviews we have attempted to round up and summarise the existing ‘sociological’ style literature, as well as point to new and ongoing work that seems to advance a new agenda for sociology in EU studies (Favell 2006; Guiraudon 2006; also circulated). The focus there was on re-stating a case for an empirical political sociology of the EU – influenced in large part by the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, and most widely developed by French scholars – that homes in on the social backgrounds, careers, and organisational strategies of recognisable EU actors operating in the “political field” of Brussels (see Guiraudon 2001; Favell 1998). Partly, this is a reworking of familiar objects and events of study into a different conceptual language. Partly too, we admit, our agenda is also a “turf war” kind of exercise: driven by a certain frustration with the way other disciplines have moved in to “sociological” terrain – notably the social constructivists in IR – without necessarily being driven by core sociological questions, or indeed using recognisably empirical sociological strategies. Another big frustration is the regretful identification of sociology with debates in social theory – Habermas, Giddens, Beck and others (the best of this kind of work in EU studies is represented by the recent textbook by Delanty and Rumford 2005) – or with normative approaches to (again, the best of which might be work associated with ARENA in Oslo, i.e. Eriksen 2005 or Bellamy/Castiglione 2006). These approaches are established and evolving in their own ways, but are not necessarily aiding the development of an empirical sociology of European integration. Here, we go beyond the critical reviews, to offer another, different grounding for sociology in EU studies. First, we turn the question around. Instead of critiquing would-be sociological approaches out there, we rather ask why sociology as a discipline – whose central object of study is “society” – finds it so difficult to study the EU. The answer lies in the great difficulties it has transcending the theoretical and methodological problem of “methodological nationalism”, especially when it comes to a collective social entity such as the EU that is neither a nation, a state or a society. Second, we will consider the question of how to operationalise what should be the core question of any theory of European integration: that is, the question of what are the “social bases of European integration”, a question that would restore the biggest sociological question of all to the mainstream EU studies agenda

"Eurostars and Eurocities: Towards a Sociology of Free Moving Professionals in Western Europe"
No full textDespite an economic union premised on free movement across Europe, population statistics consistently show that a very low percentage of Western Europeans migrate and settle permanently in other European countries. Middle class Europeans show a remarkable propensity to stay put in their native countries. One can only conclude that the European economic and social system functions in ways that scarcely resemble its founding principle of the free movement of peoples. This presentation reports on qualitative research in Brussels and Amsterdam which has sought to understand the choices, career trajectories, and personal problems faced by professionals who have chosen the path of free movement within Europe. The study reveals the deep-seated national organization of life in even the most internationalized-or Europeanized-of cities, particularly concerning housing, child education, and political participation. Favell focuses on the difficult struggle for "quality life" that is and always has given the advantage to a rooted "bourgeois" conception of accumulation and social power. In a Europe where the declining welfare state and the all-powerful international economic system would seem to be overwhelming the nation-state, Favell suggests that these hidden barriers to free movement in Europe lie at the heart of the resilience of the national as the dominant form of social organization on the continent

Rosalie Favell : Longing and Not Belonging
No full textLonging and Not Belonging is an exhibition of 41 digital-output works by photographer Rosalie Favell. Favell has chosen to explore her identity as a mixed-blood urban Cree through her family photographs and images of twentieth-century pop culture. Her family photographs remind us of our own special times and provide documentation for her history. Her work takes us to places not uncommon to our own life experiences. The images tell us, and others, who we are and where we came from, and they can even provide us with insight into where we are going
Compared to its neighbours, open migration to Britain has been a success story
No full textEastern European migration to the UK is deplored by many Britons. Yet, argues Adrian Favell, comparing Britain’s experience with that of other member states shows just how well it has done out of freedom of movement. The UK has a flexible, well-educated migrant workforce at its disposal – unlike other countries, some of which have lost qualified workers or are struggling to deal with inflows from outside the EU
