The European Federalist Papers
Paper 0
Klinkers and Tombeur explain why they find it necessary to start a dialogue on the desirability of a federal Europe. They broadly sketch the shortcomings of the European Union’s current intergovernmental operating system. They explain why they put their dialogue in the form of the American Federalist Papers, a unique collection of writings from 1787-1788 relating to the draft of the Federal Constitution. Pro and anti-federalists are invited to follow and respond to this series of European Federalist Papers.
