Abstract
The EU seems to have entered a new phase of the economic crisis. To be questioned is the same “finalité” of the integration process. Not only the monetary integration (undoubtedly the most striking in material and symbolic terms). But also the policy of enlargement, the economic and legal integration, the social integration (the European social model). This essay argues that the Union should challenge the globalization, defending the fundamental principles and institutions of the welfare state and the European legal tradition of the rule of law and constitutional state. On the contrary, the EU seems to favour a passive integration in the international markets in direction of a sort of “americanization” and “westernization” of EuropeI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
