This chapter offers a concise conceptualization of differentiated integration. It argues that differentiated integration can be understood as the differential validity of EU legal rules across the member states and is, thus, different from other forms of flexibility and non-compliance. Furthermore, the chapter introduces different modes of differentiated integration that have played an important role in the academic and policy debate: multi-speed, multi-tier, and multi-menu integration. Multi-speed differentiated integration is temporary. Multi-tier differentiated integration creates durable differences in the level of integration between groups of member states. Finally, in multi-menu differentiated integration, the composition of membership varies durably between integrated policy areas.
