An Ever Closer Finalité - Czech Future of Europe Discourse
An Ever Closer Finalité - Czech Future of Europe Discourse

Summary/Abstract: This article provides a brief sketch of the Czech Future of Europe debate and puts it into a more general context of European integration developments. First, the author discusses the question of the meaningfulness of the Finalité Project per se and sketches out a basic description of the three major strands of theoretical thinking on European integration. Then, three axes are mapped onto the landscape the author wishes to survey. After that, this landscape is peopled by Czech political actors having their say in the Future of Europe debate. Finally, the author´s aim is to show what corners and niches the Czech political actors have inhabited in the Finalité debate salon and also to give potential explanation to why and how they have done so.
