摘要:The European integration process –which may be interpreted as a federalizing process– faces strong cultural and economic resistances.As a matter of fact, social rights have been understood and performed –within an old tradition of political thought– as proximity rights that cannot be universalized beyond the context of national States; this led to the resistant ideology of the protective function of State borders.Therefore it seems that the construction of the European Union as a complete political subject cannot be developed further if a centralized European Welfare is not created.

As a matter of fact, social rights have been understood and performed –within an old tradition of political thought– as proximity rights that cannot be universalized beyond the context of national States; this led to the resistant ideology of the protective function of State borders. Therefore it seems that the construction of the European Union as a complete political subject cannot be developed further if a centralized European Welfare is not created.
