For fifty years European integration has been pursued according to
an operational code based on rules which have never been publicly
discussed. This book demonstrates the far-reaching consequences of
the prioritisation of integration over competing values, fait
accompli and other implicit rules of action. The willingness to
sacrifice democracy on the altar of integration is demonstrated by
the monopoly of legislative initiative granted to the non-elected
Commission. Monetary union preceding, rather than following,
political integration is a striking example of fait accompli, and
the reason behind many holes in the EU system of economic
governance. Until now, academics have avoided radical criticism;
Giandomenico Majone argues that only an open acknowledgement of the
obsolescence of the traditional methods can stem the rising tide of
Euro-scepticism.
