Between Eurotopia and Nationalism: A Third Way for the Future of the EU | ||
in Globalizations , Volume 14, Issue 1 , 2017 , 157-163 | ||
The Brexit has put the question of the final goal of integration on the agenda. The debate is characterised by a binary logic: either ever more deepening of integration or total disintegration with falling back into a system of nation states. While further integration is stopped by the heterogeneity of member states returning to the nation state is unrealistic, as European integration overlaps and is amalgamated with globalisation. There is a third way: flexibilisation through selective integration in certain areas and selective disintegration in others, based on variable coalitions of the willing. | ||
