Abstract
In this chapter, I conclude the book by undertaking three tasks. The first is to provide a comparative overview of the preceding chapters, and establish the ways in which the states studied here can be considered awkward partners in European integration. The second is to draw inferences from this for the study of European integration, and the third is to undertake a similar exercise for the study of comparative regional integration.
I would like to thank the contributors to this volume for their feedback on an early version of this chapter, and also for their thoughts regarding the developments of their respective states’ stances towards the EU in the near future.
