Theory and Practice of the Western Europe Countries Integration: Topical Problems
https://doi.org/10.12737/22957
Abstract
This article describes the topical problems of European integration in their relationship with the theoretical and historical contradictions which arose at the dawn of European integration. The following integration theories are observed: functionalism, institutionalism and federalism, as well as more recent neofunctionalism and postneofunctionalizm. Different concepts of European integration are considered. In addition the most important problems and contradictions, which the European Union has to handle are distinguished. The results of the Brexit voting held on 23 June 2016 are analyzed. The decision of the UK people to withdraw from the EU is far from unanimous, and from a legal point of view is not definitive. At the same time, the British and European officials perceive Brexit as fait accompli. Moreover, the exit procedure is being encouraged from the European side. An analysis of the possible consequences of this event shows that disintegration will not pass without serious consequences for any of the stakeholders. In addition, it can be expected that the EU will undertake a number of serious reforms.
