Civilian Power Europe,
Abstract
This paper assesses the political significance, internal and external, of the European unification process. It draws systematic conclusions from the 20 years of European Community experience by pitting this experience against two political models, (1) construction of a superstate, and (2) construction of transnational system. The future of the Community, insofar as it is predictable, is seen in the light of this experience, not in terms of certain urges and myths of the political class. The descriptive term 'civilian power' was first used by Francois Duchene, former director of the International Institute of Strategic Studies. (Author)
