POLD89H3 Lecture Notes - European Commission
Document Summary
Last eight nine days: many things changed. A new state in the making: united euro for instance. Greece has a new government run by a pm and has not been elected: technocrats: (do not belong to a party) former pm is a member of some bank. Italy has a new pm who is a commissioner (italy has commissioners but has never been elected) italy has non elected government and pm. European something and a greece a former something. The european thing put two of its members into government. Interdependent: more and more elected government and more and more government less willingly to go to war. Member states pay membership fees to brussels, main part of the coalition. Member states pay money into a part called structural funds and it works as an international aid in a way but it is not for the international world but for the eu.
