Economic Theories of Political (Dis)integration
综述了关于国家加入或退出国际联盟的政治经济学文献,分析了经济一体化、国际秩序、国际溢出和制度环境四个因素,并讨论了其对欧洲一体化、欧盟扩权和权力分配的启示。
Abstract. This paper surveys the recent political economy literature on countries’ incentives to form international unions and/or to disintegrate in smaller juris-dictions. The main factors that affect these incentives are (i) economic integra-tion, (ii) the international order, (iii) international spillovers and (iv) the institutional setting. Some implications are drawn for the current debate in Europe on the political effects of economic integration, on the enlargement process and on the distribution of prerogatives between the European Union and national governments.
