EU Institutional Reform: Evidence on Globalization and International Cooperation
用多项证据支持欧盟经济一体化与政策主权向超国家层面转移的关联,并指出两者存在双向关系:经济一体化促使政府更愿国际合作,而促进合作的制度改革又加深了经济一体化。
If the received wisdom is right, the EU's rapid economic integration should have been asso? ciated with a transfer of economic policy sov? ereignty to the supranational level. This paper marshals several strands of evidence in support the received wisdom, although the relationship in the EU is clearly two-way. Economic inte? gration makes governments more interested in international cooperation, but the institutional reforms that facilitate such cooperation also facilitate deeper economic integration.
