Unia Europejska w środowisku wielopoziomowych i wielowymiarowych zmian. Propozycja modelu analizy

The cognitive aim of the article – considering the EU as a dynamic system – is to analyse the independent variables that determine its decisions and actions. The progressive complexity of the independent variables determining the EU has been included in the multilevel and multidimensional formula, identifying them at various levels of social life and its various planes. In particular, the focus was on EU’s independent variables operating at the level of the international system, identifying those structural ones related to the change of the system’s polarity, but also variables with qualitative characteristics conditioned by globalisation processes. At the state level, the challenges for liberal values were highlighted. In order to organise the independent variables of the UE, a framework model for their analysis was proposed.
