The axiological system of the European Union. It's not a utopia. Europeanist analysis

Europeanist analysis

Abstract

In this article, based on the analyzed research material, an attempt was made to refer scientifically to the issues of the system and axiological structure of the European Union. As a consequence of the research assumption adopted in this way, a proof was made that the axiological changes in the EU took place under the ideological influence, flowing not from the space of discourse (also scientific) referring to the paradigm of realism and neorealism, but from idealism and liberal democracy. This approach has become a source of extensive normative solutions and patterns of behavior (at the economic, political, legal and social level) inscribed in the founding treaties, often difficult to implement in community political practice. On the other hand, the presence of a catalog of European values ​​has become an element of the identity of the supranational political system of the EU, based on the principle of continuity and change, of a functional and dysfunctional nature.
