本論文由歷史的觀點探討歐洲整合運動與分析歐盟的民主赤字議題。由於歐盟中的三個主要的會員國（英國、法國與德國）的分歧立場，對歐洲整合運動有重大的影響，尤其表現在主權的爭論上。歐洲議會由一個論壇大會逐漸演化成一個超國家型態但是權利受限的議會。最後探討歐盟可否經由歐洲憲法的制定而成為一個完全民主與負責任的聯盟。

This report offers a historical review of European integration and analyzes the democratic-deficit agenda in the European Union. It is argued that the distinct positions among the three big Member States (i.e., the United Kingdom, France, and Germany) have a great impact on the integrative movement wherein these Member States have aspired to fight for their sovereignty. The European Parliament has been evolving from a common assembly to a supranational parliament but with limited powers. It is argued that the European Union will not be fully democratic and accountable by the enactment of a Constitution.
