Abstract

Theoretical approaches to differentiation of European integration evolved over the last twenty to thirty years from initial attempts to conceptualize the actual development through confrontation with conventional European integration theories to attempts to further theoretically develop this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is both to systematically introduce Czech readers into existing theoretical approaches to differentiated integration, and to confront the basic conceptualization and theoretical work about this phenomenon with factual development. Differentiation of European integration is seen rather as an umbrella concept which opens more opportunities for specialized research of various areas of EU cooperation.
