Abstract
This short paper puts the case of Brexit in the context of academic debate regarding the nature of European integration and the future of European Union. In doing so, it revisits in its first part three major theories of European integration, namely: Intergovernmentalism, Liberal Intergovernmentalism and Supranationalism.
The second part of the paper, toys with an idea that European integration and its institutional form namely European Union have so far produced a set of seemingly unquestioned assumptions and values, which amounts to the status of an ideology, hence the term 'Europeanism' is used with reference to contemporary EU.
