Brief
Federal Leap or Political Unions?
The on-going evolution of the euro zone crisis has elicited healthy calls for a boost to European integration which often crystallise around the concept of a “federal leap”. Yves Bertoncini tries to clarify the terms of this debate, underlining the EU is already a “Federation of Nation States” and inviting to address three key issues: the share out of competences, the European government and democracy within the EU.
Competences, government, democracy: those are the three main issues in a European “roadmap” which must not be purely economic and social, but must also be political and institutional – and they are also the ingredients of the political jolts, as daring as it is reasonable, which the EU so sorely needs.
