Origins of integration Post-war concerns: political & economic WWI: Society of Nations ’s: Pan-European movement WWII: European integration needed Churchill, 1946, Zurich University: « a kind of United-States of Europe »

Economic situation post WWII See Marshall speech (Harvard,1947) & plan European economic structures have collapsed 1948: OEEC (OECD since 1960) Need for cooperation for reconstruction

Political situation post WWII Germany disarmament & the cold war threat Issue of remilitarization of Germany to resist the Soviet Union expansionism A European system of protection of fundamental values to avoid human rights violations is needed

EU powers and achievements Progressive development of EU powers: Idea of neo-functionalism (Haas, 1958) Spill-over movement Intergovernmentalism: extension of powers through the revision of treaties (1986, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2007) Judicial activism: principles of EU federalism, market rights’ extension

The issue of European governance Challenges for EU institutions Enlargement Increasing powers External policy  Recent reforms Need for new methods? Democracy / Transparency Interaction with citizens Soft law v. hard law ? Bottom up v. top down ? See: White paper of the European Commission on European Governance (2001)
