This contribution will provide a short analysis of the situation of small states in the European Union (EU). Particular attention will be given to the impact of the EU on democracy in small states. For this purpose, the proposed Constitution of the European Union will be analysed and related to the special characteristics and interests of small member states. In the course of this discussion, the European Union, democracy and small states are set into the framework of a theory of globalization, whereby the EU is seen as a particular case of globalization. Different scenarios of EU development are suggested and their consequences for democracy and small states investigated. A short reflection on small states theory and the changing assumptions about the impact of “size” precedes the analysis. |
