Summary/Abstract: Historically speaking, the region of Central Europe has provided an extraordinary plethora of narratives illustrating an inability to create super-national structures – political entities that go beyond national borders or create political unions. This was the failure of the Habsburgs, Hungary, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union – and it is the failure of the European Union today.
