MAXCAP is introducing a new publications series which will complement the MAXCAP Working Paper series: The MAXCAP Reports. They aim to inform the public about interim research results as well as conferences and other events conducted by MAXCAP. The first two MAXCAP Reports have just been published:

Börzel, Elitsa Kortenska, Julia Langbein and Dimiter Toshkov provides an assessment of the European Union's internal and external integration capacity and summarizes MAXCAP's preliminary findings on EU modes of integration and negotiation design.
