The development of the European Union from a common market to a political union
نویسنده
چکیده
The history of the European Union (EU) has been characterized by two outstanding elements : the creation of a common market without internal frontiers between the participating member states and beyond this economic integration endeavours also towards a political union. My contribution is concentrated on the decisive steps and the main features of the process of European integration in the frame of the EU which today consists of 25 Member States. I will start with some observations concerning the concept of European integration and then continue with some remarks on the different stages of European integration and the progress which has been reached so far. I will conclude with some thoughts on the actual status of the EU and the perspectives for its further constitutional development, in particular I will address the chances of a constitutional reform.
