In his regular column for Juncture, John Curtice looks at British public attitudes towards Europe and questions whether apparent moves towards Euroscepticism by politicians and the public are real or just par for the course.

KROL IS VERY PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THE CHANCES OF STABILITY AND DEMOCRACY IN EASTERN EUROPE BECAUSE OF REVITALIZED NATIONALISM, WHICH HE SEES AS DEEPLY DESTRUCTIVE. HE ARGUES THAT THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO MAKING THE PRESENT TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES IN EASTERN EUROPE PERMANENT, EVEN THOUGH THEY TAKE NO HEED OF NATIONAL MINORITIES. IF DEMANDS FOR NATIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION ARE EXERCISED, THIS WILL LEAD SOONER OR LATER TO EUROPEAN WAR. KROL ARGUES THAT THE ODDS ARE AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LIBERAL EUROPE UNLESS STEPS ARE TAKEN TO BUILD A UNIFYING, PAN-EUROPEAN SENSE OF IDENTITY. WESTERN EUROPE SHOULD HELP THE EAST TO DIMINISH THE ROLE OF THE STATE, SO THAT AUTHENTIC COMMUNITIES CAN BYPASS NATIONALISM TO SOME EXTENT; HE SUGGESTS ALSO THAT A SENSE OF PANEUROPEAN CULTURAL AFFINITY CAN GRADUALLY BE BUILT UP. BUT, AS THIS HAS TAKEN 40 YEARS TO BUILD IN WESTERN EUROPE, THE PROGNOSIS IS NOT IMMEDIATELY FAVOURABLE.

A Europe of States versus a Federal Europe, by Robert Toulemon
The Convention on the future of the European Union will try to establish a broad coalition of support for its proposals to have the best chance of them being accepted by the 2004 intergovernmental conférence. Rather than coming up with a compromise that would maintain the present division of the EU between the community pillars and the intergovernmental pillars, it would be desirable if the members of the convention were to synthesise the two approaches, which should complement, not compete with, each other. It is necessary to balance the attachment of each state to its sovereignty, a désire to be directly linked to the definition and putting in place of the EU's policies, on the one hand, with the need to abolish the veto in an enlarged Europe, to bring Europe closer to its citizens, and to assure internal and external openness, on the other. By progressively enlarging the areas of competence or the EU through a well-adapted and flexible process, especially taking into account the diversity of expectations and the capabilities of present and future members, it might be possible to corne up with a satisfactory proposal.
