DESCRIPTION:Unbalanced Integration: Geography and Redistribution in the EU 
 The paper focuses on the puzzle of the coexistence of positive and negativ
 e integration in the EU\, with a particular focus on the organization of f
 iscal structures.&nbsp\; The paper traces the causal chain from individual
 s\, political organizations\, to political elites\, to explain why the uni
 on has failed to integrate fiscal policy while at the same time devotes a 
 large portion of its budget to transfer resources to its poorer members. U
 nderstanding this process illuminates why the EU is on different footing t
 o respond to the financial crisis than other more consolidated and integra
 ted political unions around the world.
