Paper Summary:
The paper analyzes the Commission, the European Parliament, the Council, as well as the Court to determine whether the EU is primarily an intergovernmental or a supranational organization. The paper explores the extent to which some institutions are more supranational or intergovernmental than others and highlights the complexity of the issue. The paper focuses on Jose Manuel Durao Barroso who is currently the President of the European Commission and most of the times considered to be the actual President of the European Union. The paper examines whether he can be expected to be more of a supranationalist or intergovernmentalist and explains why his main role would require a more supranational attitude.From the Paper:
"There is a wide debate concerning the European Union, its future role, and the nature of its construction. More precisely, it can be said that since its creation in the 1950s the European Community and since 1993 the European Union has been seen as a complex, innovative, yet confusing institution. It is neither an organization in the traditional view, nor is it a national state. Therefore, the tensions that exist between defining the EU as an intergovernmental or supranational institution frame the ongoing discussions."Sample of Sources Used:
