From finalité politique to multifinalité. Theoretical basis explaining the turn in the process of defining the future of the European Union
Abstract
The aim of the research is to find the theoretical basis for the turn from finalité politique towards multifinalité in the paradigm of knowing the future European Union. These theoretical bases for reimbursement will be supported by empirical evidence and practical solutions, which in this case constitute a point of reference for potential final solutions. This objective is important in that not only researchers and theorists are involved in the search for the EU's future, but also practitioners, including EU technocrats. The research found that: first of all, it is extremely important to define the essence of the (non-adjective) finalité with its internal components (transcendence, equilibrium, destiny), secondly to determine the state at the moment which will be extremely important reference point (référentiel), although contextual, initial condition of research on the finalité.
