The purpose of this study project is to clarify the dynamics of European integration process in the chaning world. In the post Cold War era, how to built a new European architecture is a crucial issue among the European countries in which the European Union is expected to play a mejor role.

And as a supranational body, the development of the EU integration will bring certainly a new type of interstates cooperation in the place of traditional Nation-state system. Concidering these problems, this project try to analyze the present situation surrounding the EU from diverse points of view and to examine the future couse of European integration in the 21st century.
