On The Transfer Of Sovereignty In The Course Of European Integration

Can the sovereignty be transferable? It is no doubt when we investigate the European integration since the end of World Warâ…¡.From 1950, the member states of West Europe began to transfer their partial sovereignty to the supranational institutions voluntarily, the purpose is to keep peaceful co-existance in the post-war. When we make a comprehensive view about the course of European integraion, it is not hard to find that the certain sovereignty has already transferred from economic domain to the civil affairs, legal system, regional military defense and political domain. Therefor, sovereignty transfer marks its characteristic trace in EU's organization, decision-making and legal system etc.The sovereignty transfer rooted in the influence of globalization and regional integraion. Hence member states transferred their government own power to the suprantional institutions, sharing the sovereignty and co-exerting the sovereignty equally, voluntarily and multual-beneficially.The course of European integraion faces a severe challenge in the 21st Century, the challenge is coming from the internal reform impulse and external international background. EU tries to make a Constitution to fullfil the ultimate unity of European countries.
