Abstract

This essay explores the complex relationship between the sovereignty of the European Union (EU) and its member states. The concept of sovereignty is the base of political science, and the EUs foundation has created tension among its member states regarding the balance between pooling sovereignty and preserving it. The essay uses the case study of Brexit to examine the extent to which EU member states can achieve sovereignty within the current political climate. Theoretical frameworks such as neo-functionalism and intergovernmentalism are used to analyze the relationship between member states and the supranational EU institutions. The essay aims to provide insight into the complex dynamics of sovereignty in the EU and offers potential solutions for balancing member-state sovereignty with the need for collective decision-making within the EU.
