In this chapter the authors take up a journey through the map of European differentiated integration. Following the metaphor of the hemispheres, the cases selected comprise of the inner-core representative that is Germany, the outer-core represented by Poland, the inner periphery – Switzerland, and the outer-periphery that is UK, after the Brexit. Each and every state is analyzed through the supply and demand dimension, which allows for a better understanding of the political parties positioning, as well as citizens' attitudes towards European (differentiated) integration.

"This book examines differentiated integration in Europe, providing incisive analyses of domestic politics determinants - political conflict, party responses, citizens' preferences and other supply and demand side elements. The four countries compared - Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom - afford rich diversity offering broad empirical material available for cross-country analyses. Featuring interdisciplinary research, the book draws together recent developments in the evolution of European integration differentiation - its dynamics and determinants. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European integration, comparative politics, political psychology, international relations, and more broadly to European (area) studies"--
