System change and European integration
System change and European integration

Summary/Abstract: The author states that 'the EU will have to adapt to the demands of deregulation caused by globalization which is seen as a return to the domination of a pure economic logic. The crisis of welfare state and the emerging of conflicts over distribution could endanger the legitimacy of EU. The system change in the center and at the periphery of the EU may lead to a political mobilization from below and - consenquently - to a stronger need for legitimization of its institutions and decision-making bodies by elections.
