L’Europa del disinganno

Abstract

 [The Disillusionment Europe] Currently, the EU faces a crisis so profound that no one can predict the future. Amongst the multiple factors that generated the risk of the dissolution of the Union, the Author focuses on the obsessive political aim of juridical uniformity that characterizes the European legislator. This attitude, which has lead the bureaucratic power-machinery of Brussels to invade, unnecessarily and without limits, any sector of economic and social life, is perceived by a large majority of the European peoples as an attempt upon national values and habits and has provoked nationalistic reactions. This result shows that the functionalistic method and the legislative uniformity, as its corollary, have been incapable of generating the expected integration of the European nations, having denied the value of plurality that is the most prominent character of the European civilisation.
