In this essay, I will be discussing why the European Union (EU) was set up and the means of how it was set up, as well as analysing the development of the EU and the advantages and disadvantages of the union. The European Union was set up after World War two to enable peace within the continent. After the war there had been short food supplies, tension between neighbouring countries and infrastructure destroyed. The idea of the union originated from Jean Monnet and the French foreign minister Robert

rise of Euroscepticism, and the shift in the balance of power of national institutions from domestic parliaments to a European parliament. Fligstein (2012) mentions that in 2004 only 3.9 per cent of people who lived in Europe viewed themselves as European, this is very damning in suggesting that the processes of EU integration have failed because no one identifies themselves as European.

As mentioned in the previous section, the idea presented by Habermas is normative in nature, which requires the empirical investigation to focus on the relevant process leading towards the desired ‘state of the world’, rather than the de facto characteristics of the EU itself. The research question leads to two hypotheses: Identification with prerequisites for a deliberative process has a positive effect on individual trust in the European Union. The

The task of creating uniformity has been complicated by the seemingly divergent legal, political and social norms that exist within the borders of its constituting States. Combined, these conflicting positions have created an environment whereby integration through citizenship into the EU as a collective, and its Member
