contents Crisis? What (Type) of Crisis? The overlapping problems of the European Union Kai Lehmann Sociología austerity European Union multiple crisis adaptive action European integration It is common today, even in the European media, to treat the current crisis of the European Union almost exclusively as an economiccrisis. The present article pretends to show that such a focus is not only wrong but is indeed dangerous for the future development ofthe European Union as a whole. The article will argue that the present economic crisis simply aggravated–and a lot–a crisis oflegitimacy through which the European Union has been passing for some time. Showing that the anti-European tendencies which arespreading throughout the countries of the continent threaten the very future of the European project, the article will make suggestionon reforms for the future development of the EU, alerting to the necessity to finally elaborate once again a coherent argument for thecontinuation of the European integration process which puts the European population at the heart of the political process instead ofjust austerity. 2014 artículo científico 0104-4478 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=23832651004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=238 Revista de Sociologia e Política application/pdf Universidade Federal do Paraná Revista de Sociologia e Política (Brasil) Num.50 Vol.22
