Abstract

The aim of this article is to define the phenomenon of political subjectivity of EU member states in the system of European integration. The article examines basic factors influencing the scale of the above-mentioned attribute. Moreover it discusses the characteristic of the system of European integration and the process of “Europeanization.” The crucial part of this article is the description of the centre, semi-periphery and periphery of the system of European integration and the presentation of the process of appropriation of interdependences by EU member states within the united Europe. This paper argues that political subjectivity entitles EU member state to model the structures of European integration. It allows the participants in the system of European Union to perform the fusion of norms from national to supranational level. The scale of political subjectivity determines the place of EU member state within one of the concentric circles of European integration. One can observe the transfer of regulations from the centre (Western Europe) to the periphery (European Neighbourhood Policy) of the European project.
