A New Analytical Framework to Explain the Troubling EU (Dis)Integration Dynamics

Disintegration literature is deprived of a widely accepted policy framework to analyze the rationale, the traits and the impact of European integration/disintegration. This article presents a policy-oriented analytical framework so as to perceive the complex interplay of EU integration-disintegration dynamics. The analysis begins by setting the problem while section two describes the major tenets of existing EU integration theories on disintegration challenges. Section three analyses the content of an alternative analytical framework for understanding EU integration-disintegration dynamics while chapter four concludes and reaches useful policy implications.
