La questione europea

Abstract

The essay focuses upon some of the major steps that led, in the twentieth century, to the European Union project and, secondly, foreshadows the main aporia of its realisation, as well as its unfulfilled promises. In particular, the author’s attention is dedicated to the concept of “depoliticisation”, i.e. a Europe united only by the Euro and the Central Bank, without any true political decision-making process taking place nor any reference to the great European culture.
