I have edited the main page to make it reflect Supranationalism in the dictionary sense of the word. I have also emphasised the European Debate, and placed Weiler's theory at the bottom. Will 12:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much Will --Ysangkok 18:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I have edited the page to make it have a better layout. I added boldness on line one, and I added a definition list. --Ysangkok 18:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much Ysangkok --Ysangkok 18:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Supranationalism and confederation

...What's the difference?--87.64.24.4 01:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

The whole article is not about supranationalism but the EU. Supranationalism doesn't mean multinational representational government. Also, it has been used to define something more akin to pan-nationalism, only as a theory of state creation as opposed to a description of a particular (interstate nationalist) movement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Livingwords (talk • contribs) 20:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV on EU

The editors involved in this article clearly adopt the point of view of Weiler that the EU is not true supranational body. Although there are arguments to be made these arguments are however brought across in a judgemental way. Only one reference (Weiler) is given and the much other academics, and the some academics who see EU as supranational are not named. Choice of words (paradox, deficit) is not NPOV and leads to a conclusion that is either original research, or an opinion. This section needs a lot of work Arnoutf 13:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree to the criticism raised. Following the link to the article Joseph_H._H._Weiler, the neutrality of which is also disputed (as it celebrates the person), I got the impression that an outsider position is over-emphasized. The vast majority of academics clearly view the EU as a supranational body. Furthermore, the arguments contained in the article are neither convincing nor logical. The mere fact that one part of the legislature, the Council, consists of members of governments of members can also be found in many federal states, as e.g. in the German Bundesrat.

[edit] Supranationalism in other parts of the world

Information about supranationalism in other parts of the world, e.g. South America, is missing. DanSchultz 12:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Supranational identity

Should there be some information on the social aspects of supranationalism, or do you think it's best to keep it at the political definition? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.174.128.134 (talk) 09:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
