THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AND SUPRANATIONAL INTEGRATION IN BUILDING THE UNITED EUROPE

Summary/Abstract: It is spoken in the theory and practice of our community construction about Europeanization, a democratic process which involves the dialogue of at least two trends: that of state’s cooperation at intergovernmental level and their integration at a transnational level. This dialogue took shape and force increasingly, by translating the idea of European unity in the following fields: political, economic, social, legal, cultural, scientific, technological, etc. Due to the complexity of European Community system, this dialogue is not exactly easy to noticeable and described. What can be said for sure is the fact that if the transnational strategy was premeditated and thoroughly prepared by the founders of European integration, the intergovernmental strategy must be seen as a natural reaction of a Europe which is diverse, so united and so careful to the path is heading. A Europe as diverse as it is, and also united by the roots of its political-administrative, economic, religious and cultural identity. The intention of this article is to point out the most significant moments of the dialogue in the title “from the building establishment of European Community to Lisbon Treaty 2007(2009) which ends the dialogue by strengthening the “transnational” and tempering the “intergovernmental.”
