Towards a theory of disintegration
本文提出一个总体理论框架，用于整合现有关于欧盟解体的研究，并解释一体化与解体在不同层面的互动，对研究欧盟问题的学者有参考价值。
Existing theories of European integration offer little purchase on the problems facing the European Union today. New theories of disintegration are emerging, but they remain disjointed. The purpose of this comment is to suggest an overarching theoretical framework. This framework helps to structure the existing literature and to suggest new areas for research. It also helps to explain how integration and disintegration interact at different levels of aggregation.
