Introduction: Federalism and Building the European Union

Abstract

The Treaty on European Union ratified in 1993 was another major step toward a federal-like European union. Although the European Union is not a federation in the classical sense, it has a number of federal-like attributes and dynamics. In addition, federal ideas, however controversial in parts of Europe, have contributed both to the legal, political, and constitutional evolution of the European Community and to the creation of the European Union at Maastricht. A centerpiece of the new European Union is to be the European Monetary Union, which will, if realized, move the European Union in a more decidedly federal direction.
