Abstract

[From the introduction] As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, we again confront the question of whether the EU is on its last legs. Are today’s dire predictions any more credible than those made twenty-five years ago? Are the EU’s institutional arrangements fragile? Are they in danger of collapsing under the weight of enlargement, as today’s reports of ‘crisis’ suggest? Or instead, as Andrew Moravcsik (2005b) has suggested, is the EU’s current ‘constitutional settlement’ actually quite stable? In short, is today’s EU a fragile house of cards, or is it built to last?
