The Debate, Mixture And Surpassing Of The Major Theories On The European Integration

European integration is a typical representation of the regionalism in the international society. As the major theories on the European integration, the Functionalism and the inter-governmentalism play a very important role in the development of the theories on the European integration, which is almost dominated by the debate between the two major theories. In the first chapter, I will introduce and compare the main ideas and opinions of the two major theories, and then I will analyze the key points of the debate between the two major theories. This chapter is the part of "the debate of the theories" .Because the European integration is itself a very complex phenomenon, which can not be explained by a single theory or just several theories, "the mixture of the theories" becomes an inevitable tendency. In the second chapter, I will discuss "the mixture of the theories" between the Functionalism and the inter-governmentalism. At the same time, the discussion will expand to the whole area of the international theories and the other theories beyond the international theories.However, it is not enough for me just staying at the levels of "debate" and "mixture" and I want to try to construct a certain "surpassing of the theories". The main purpose of this "surpassing" is to find some better understandings and explanations on the European integration, from some higher levels and wider perspectives of theory. In the last chapter, I will introduce the"Extranationalism" of Doctor Chen Yugang with my own critical analysis, and then I will construct my own "surpassing of the theories", which conclude two levels of surpassing-the surpassing inside and outside the international relations.
