Abstract

The current situation of European political integration is analyzed from a cyclical and structural point of view. It is considered that this critical situation is part of a process of overcoming of Nation-state, without new political bodies that can take similar functions, at a transnational level, especially in regard to the domestication of markets. This makes the nationalist or centrifugal trends increase its force. It is noted as the only way out of the current impasse, strengthening its political factors, supporting on the learning process, of progressive abstraction, of citizens and of the European peoples, so only if accompanied by a social policy of redistribution, symbol of Europe so far, this can succeed.
