Beyond the tip of the iceberg: exploring how Eu political conflict structures shape the path of European integration
| Resumo: | The EU is forced into a reform deadlock since Member States seem unable to reach a consensus. This contribution explores how EU politics shape the path of European integration. By differ-entiating between the ‘visible’ (politicization and political contestation), and the ‘often not visible’ dimensions (domestic preference formation and interstate bargaining), we find that political obstacles impose limits on the EU’s ability to advance on its integration agenda. Moreover, the impact of the corona crisis on EU politics is preliminarily assessed – but, whether the EU is politically strengthened or fragmented by the pandemic remains an important issue for future research. |
