Abstract

The political innovation represented by the European Union can only be understood if the perspective and the concepts inherent to the national state are abandoned. This paper aims at examining such innovation from an analysis of the European identity, weaker than usually believed, in historical and geographical terms, as well as from the understanding of the EU’s original methods of governance, thus conceiving it as an experiment of global reach.
