Czynniki integrujące i dezintegrujące w Unii Europejskiej

Abstract

The paper discusses the factors which contribute to the deepening European integration as well as those that hinder or even reverse integrating processes. Economic and political issues, such as globalisation or the current crisis of the eurozone, are the main focus of the paper but cultural and social problems, e.g. the citizens’ confidence in EU institutions, are raised as well. At the end of his paper, the author presents a tentative projection of the future integration of the Union.
