THE EUROPEAN POLITICAL MODEL: INTERGOVERNMENTAL FEDERALISM
THE EUROPEAN POLITICAL MODEL: INTERGOVERNMENTAL FEDERALISM

Summary/Abstract: The European political model generated numerous analyses of the theorists in an attempt to manage its classification in a concrete paradigm. The theories and concepts of the European integration have as a starting point the functionalism, continuing with the neofunctionalism, the inter-governmentalism, the federalism and the multi-level governance. There have been numerous attempts to define the EU as a functional federalism, as an intergovernmental federalism, organization sui generis, etc.. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the latest analyses of the political nature of the European Union identify the intergovernmental federalism as the European political model.
