A Comparative Study of English and Belgian Supranationalism Utilising Social Fractal Methodology
The thesis redefines supranationalism, challenging traditional state authority structures by categorizing Member States into two ideal types based on their transparency and democratic practices. It argues that addressing the democratic deficit in the EU could lead to either a superstate or a return to Realpolitik. Utilizing a unique approach called Social Fractal Methodology, the study examines two administrative cultures to support its claims, ultimately proposing that enhancing non-transparency may paradoxically foster greater cooperation within the EU.
