Description 1 online resource Series Central and Eastern European perspectives on international relations series Central and Eastern European perspectives on international relations series. Contents The study of religion and European integration: the state of the art -- Catholicism and European integration: a historical overview -- Institutions and embedded ideational orders -- Discourse of the Catholic Church and European integration -- Discourse of the European Union and the Catholic Church -- Competing ideational orders and EU politics Summary The European Union and the Catholic Church is the first comprehensive monograph to explore the political relations between the Catholic Church and the European Union. Building on the insights of political theology, it connects the analysis of the political interactions of these two institutions with their broader normative outlooks and the analysis of their ideational orders. This study contains both a concise overview of the historical evolution of the relationship and analysis of the politico-theological strategies the two institutions employ in their interactions, which range from mutual legitimisation to direct normative conflict. This book will be of significant interest to those who wish to familiarise themselves with the Catholic approach to the integration process and to those who are interested in the interactions of the European Union with religious organisations in general, and the Catholic Church in particular Notes Print version record Subject Catholic Church -- Foreign relations -- Europe European Union Catholic Church -- Europe -- History -- 21st century Catholic Church -- Europe -- History Catholic Church -- History -- 21st century.
