| Abstract | ||
| The emergence and the development of the economic, social and political institutions of EU, all aimed to boarder and deeper the European Integration (EI), are provided a valuable site for the conceptualization of the EI. An understanding of the development of EU studies as an academic sub discipline is best developed through the explanation of theoretical work, past and present. Heoretical study on European Integration is obviously bound up in complex with the unfolding story of the EU, and is also observed as a conceptual wing of the EU studies movement. Bearing the various considerations in mind, I try to examine some main theoretical approaches which show a respective evolution from grand and comprehensive to partial and multi-level theories. The earliest theories of the EI grew up of a classical and intellectual context which was trying to give a comprehensive framework explaining all dimensions through a singe level study. The theories like Functionalism, Neo functionalism; Transnationalism, Federalism, Interdependence and Intergovernmentalism are classified in the frist category. | ||
