Od panhellenizmu do Paneuropy. Idee integracji europejskiej w myśli politycznej do 1939 roku

Abstract

The paper analyses the development of the idea of European integration from the Hellenic period until 1939. With different political systems prevailing in different epochs, the integration was conceived of as either ‘the integration through domination’ or ‘the integration through federation’. The paper presents the evolution of the concept diachronically, from the antiquity via the Middle Ages through to the modern era. The historical realisations of the federal conception of integration and attempts at integration are presented synchronically.
