    in Europe en formation (L') , n. 363, 2012/1 ,  2012 ,  21-62
    The aim of this article is to find out a general coherence to the federalist idea, through a study of the evolution of federalist thoughts. It comes to the conclusion that federalism have to stay an idea or a principle, and not a concept nor a theory, in order to be able to encompass all federalist discursive approaches. Moreover, it assesses that the latest development of the federalist idea is multi-level governance.
