欧洲治理与体制一体化

European governance and system integration

通过强调治理与一体化之间的相互依赖,可以提出一种欧盟治理的新路径。欧盟治理不仅被欧盟政体的新生特质所决定,同时对国家和欧洲层级上的体制形成有重大影响。欧盟治理和体制相互构建的过程可能影响到成员国体制的一体化和一致性。在某种程度上,欧洲"善治"可能威胁到既有国家制度的治理能力和民主质量。可以一种系统的方法评定欧盟治理何时、为何是成员国一致性的绊脚石,或是跨国家一体化的跳板。欧盟治理能够开拓跨越国家边境的政治空间,但在国家层级上.欧盟治理还没有造成任何明显的解体效果。

The paper presents a new approach to EU governance by stressing the interdependence of governance and integration. It suggests that EU governance is not just shaped by the emerging properties of the EU polity but has a strong impact both on system formation at national and European level. It is a process of mutual structuration which is likely to affect the integration and coher- ence of member state systems up to a point where European ＇ good governance＇ may threaten the govemability and democratic quality of established national systems. The paper goes on to assess in a systematic way why and when EU governance may qualify as stumbling stones for member state coherence or stepping stones for transnational integration. EU governance has the effect of opening a trans - national polity space which, however, has not produced any visible disintegrative effects at the national level.
