What Crisis are we Talking about? Some Ideas in Historical Perspective on the Current Crisis in the European Integration Process
Abstract
The end of the Cold War was at the same time the end of an era in European History. One of its consequences has probably been the bankruptcy of an European Utopia which, at the beginning of the 21st Century, was like a dream come true. This article aims at understanding the influence that the notion of “crisis” in the European story has had in order to try to explain, from a historian’s perspective, some of the most common shortcomings in policy analyses about the genesis of the current crisis in the process of European integration.Downloads
