"It is common to juxtapose inter-governmentalism and neo-functionalism as the
two most important, and seemingly mutually exclusive, frameworks to interpret
the phenomenon of 'European integration' and its institutional dimension, the
European Community. Inter-governmentalism promises to offer a broadly applicable concept for the
analysis of international cooperative institutions. It recognises that the Community
emerged from the self-help based international system and emphasises
the continuing central role of the member states. However, conceiving of the
Community as one international institution among many others it tends to
disregard the specificities of this particular institution. Moreover, inter-governmentalism
is conceptionally founded on a state-centred and static approach to
institutions and cannot, therefore, cope with integration as a process of development
over time, nor does it readily accommodate the role of non-state actors
within the Community system." (author's abstract)... view less
