La Unión Europea veinte años después de Maastricht: hitos y retos
Abstract
This article evaluates the main outcomes and shortcomings of the European integration process since Maastricht. Some of the main achievements to be pointed out are the old goal of achieving peace in the continent —a true structural peace—, the political Union, and the constitutional treaty. But there have been important shortcomings as well, such as some sort of democratic deficit, and other challenges like the accommodation of regions and nations without state, the debate on the European social model, or the way of reforming the Union in the future. It is said that a new Convention, with an improved participation and representation, is much needed in order to reattach citizens to the European enterprise.
