Pub_AbstractText : This thesis proposes an alternative governance
structure for east central Europe - the Intermarium. The
Intermarium is based on the development of a supplementary federal
structure capable of controlling factionalism and nationalism
utilizing concepts from James Madison's Tenth Federalist. In
particular, James Madison's approach to mitigating and preventing
the formation of dangerous factions is found to be compatible with
preexisting notions of federalism in east central Europe and offers
a potential regional political solution that merits further study.
In reaching the above proposal, the concepts of Wilsonian national
self -determination, Pan European federalism, functionalism and
historical east central European variants of federalism are
explored along with their leading personalities. At the author's
request over 100 previously unknown documents were declassified by
a variety of intelligence agencies including the CIA, Army
Counterintelligence, and FBI. In addition, three lengthy interviews
were conducted with former American intelligence agent, William
Gowen, who in 1947 and 1948 investigated and worked with several of
the organizations and individuals profiled. The tragic history of
east central Europe in the 20th Century consisted of bloody ethnic
conflict, foreign invasion, and occupation with the lingering
effects still evident today. While there is persuasive authority to
suggest that the future for east central Europe is one of
harmonious relations, liberal democracy and economic prosperity
other forecasts predict decades yet of bloody conflict as the
Russian Federation and its borderlands resolve rivalries fueled by
national self-determination andirredentism. By developing a federal
alternative to the European Union to be know popularly as the
Intermarium, east central Europe might effectively pool its
resources and meet the foreign relations and security challenges
unique to the region rather than relying upon far away Brussels in
the event of a crisis. Regional federation as exemplified by east
central Europe's unique heritage may prove to be just the bridging
mechanism needed to accelerate the goal of Pan Europe or provide a
safe harbor from conflict in the event of the EU's inability to
address future crises.
