Dabartinis Europos Sąjungos ekonominės ir politinės integracijos etapas - kaip spręsti "sendaikčio" dilemą?
Current Stage of the EU Political and Economic Integration – How to Settle the “Antique Utilization” Dilemma?

Summary/Abstract: Although the EU has implemented a lot of impressive projects, previous merits were not sufficient for permanent public confidence and support. Europe is facing a sort of the “antique utilization” dilemma, which arises for people, who are already bored previously considered valuable items. However, it seems nobody is seriously considering how to get rid of this useless-looking item. Vice versa, there is no shortage of ideas and proposals how to remake the EU. Two main alternatives could be discerned out of recent debates. The first alternative is a “federalist” one. The second alternative suggests the EU instead of trying to become more nation-state alike, to transform itself to the new kind of polity with decentralized governance of European nations. However the both alternatives do not look viable. Hence, the “antique utilization” dilemma is going to persist as a trouble maker without clear solution in foreseeable future.
