Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) European integration is a phenomenon significance of which is inarguable even for its opponents. Its practical and objective character as a socio-cultural process is coupled with its unique features. Thus, since its beginning, scientists have tried to explain it which brought out coining of several theories. These social science concepts serve a couple of purposes. Before all, to clarify what the process actually is, to point out its features, elements, nature, regularities (or even laws) of its development. It highlights their explanatory and descriptive character. Thereby we may assume that by mentioned theories scientists try to explain a constituent element of our reality. On the other hand, theories do not determine goals of the process neither they design desired situations. That is reserved for politicians, political thinkers, and philosophers. If they did, theirs authors would betray the very essence of scientific activity: a virtue of impartiality and objectivity. Nevertheless, theories may serve to choose such paths and actions which allows us to diminish risks of a failure. Thus they provide us with valuable and practically useful knowledge and advise us against making doubtful paces. Somehow they help us keep our eyes open on the nature of the process. Character of the process determine characteristic of theories. Especially, its complexity makes theories quite ample. On the other hand they are of interdisciplinary character: they combine elements borrowed from various branches of social sciences. Finally, theories do not create themselves. They are effects of intentional intellectual effort. Their authors live in specific societies and represents standards of their mother cultures. We may then assume that theories are not coined in a vacuum. Since that they reflect characteristics of times and places of their origin. They show us a lot about mentality, perception, needs, fears, hopes, and expectations of generation their authors belonged to. Consequently, we may trace an adequacy and linkage between every theory and a stages of development of the integration process. Moreover, we may risk to say that every phase of the process has its theory. Passing time falsifies each theory and makes scientists create additional one. Every new is formulated also on base of element derived from old ones. It leads us to a figure of two interdependent currents: the first is facts, the second – scientific concepts. Thus analysis of theories allows us to understand the process. - basic notions: integration, the European integration (its features and stages), theory, concept, ideology (2 h) - functionalism (D. Mitrany) (2 h) - federalism (H. Brugmans, F. Cardis, A. Spinelli, J. Monnet) (2 h) - transactionalism (K.W. Deutsch) (2 h) - neofunctionalism (E.B. Haas) (2 h) - liberal intergovernmentalism (2 h) - institutionalism (2 h) - multi-level governance (2 h) - constructivism (2 h) - integration theories and contemporary Europe (2 h) |
