ABSTRACT
The questions of forty years ago are as relevant now as they were then. What does the European integration process mean? Where are we heading? And with what implications? In this chapter I shall attempt some sort of a personal answer to these questions. I will briefly review some of those developments in integration theory which have sought to interpret the emerging European system and hence to give answers to the above questions, before moving on to give my own view about the probable future of the European Union.
