Abstract

This paper attempts a neofunctionalist appraisal of the
development of Justice and Home Affairs, which has been one of the most
dynamic EU policy areas in recent years. It argues that neofimctionalism
can explain the increasing supranationalisation of this policy area despite
the fact that internal security has traditionally been conceived as an
integral part of national sovereignty.
