  2. 7. United States of Europe: Desired State for the European Union or Federalistic Utopia?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Europastudier

    Nyckelord :federalism; United States of Europe; ethnosymbolism; banal nationalism; Front National; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Due to the current return of federal aspirations among European politicians in relation to the current economic crisis and integration dead end, this thesis is interested in examining if the United States of Europe, meaning a federal union of the Member States of the European Union (EU), would be a desired state of integration or if it is still a federalistic utopia. Using the theoretical approach of federalism in combination with Critical Discourse Analysis we have analysed discourses by José Manuel Barroso and Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Guy Verhofstadt (prominent EU politicians) in an attempt to understand why the United States of Europe would be the necessary and most beneficial step to take in future integration processes.

    Sammanfattning : The member states of the European Union face a two-fold democratic challenge; both from the increased relevance of global economic forces and from the gradual strengthening of a still democratically deficient EU. By using a mixture of empirical findings and theoretical analysis to assess the causal mechanisms likely to ensue, the ability of European fiscal federalism to ameliorate this situation is assessed.
