欧盟扩大后的多边治理

Plurilateral Governance in the Enlarged European Union

欧盟扩大被认为是对现有治理体系的一种外在冲击,它扩大了欧洲的公共空间,也使得这种公共空间多样化。在这种新的环境下,等级制的治理模式越发显得缺乏解释力,欧盟不得不采用更为灵活、分权和软性的治理模式。

This article examines the impact of the recent EU enlargement on European governance. Enlargement is treated as a kind of external shock to the existing governance system, broadening and diversifying the European public space. The prevalent hierarchical mode of governance is increasingly inadequate under these new circumstances and the Union will have to embrace more flexible, decentralized and soft modes of governance.
