Integrating Diversity in the European Union (InDivEU) : differentiated integration manual

The present manual offers to policymakers and practitioners a comprehensive and ready-to-use toolkit for the design, choice, and assessment of differentiated integration scheme. On the one hand, it distils the policy-relevant insights of academic research on differentiation and other forms of flexibility in a clear, synthetic, and accessible form, with thematic suggestions for further readings and evidence-based recommendations. On the other hand, it provides access to a range of useful tools and resources: an evaluation framework; a checklist of recommendations; and a series of thematic policy briefs and fact sheets; five quantitative datasets on the empirical patterns of differentiated integration and the preferences of relevant publics; a comprehensive bibliography; an experts’ directory; and links to key external sources. The manual is conceived as a digital ‘living document’ which will remain accessible for the next 10 years and will continue to be developed and updated on a regular basis
