Abstract
The European model of integration is highly developed when compared to other countries. European regionalism is the only regionalism in the international system where there is an attempt to democratize politics above the level of the state to enhance a decisive shift from diplomacy to politics. With single market, uniform (single) currency, co-operation among national governments has enabled the EU to achieve a high level of economic integration. The Union promotes values like justice and fair play, sustainability and subsidiary, transparency and democratic accountability. They are a part of Europe's distinctive political and ethical heritage. For the first time, Europe and the EU have been able to come up with modles like the model of integration (which can be subdivided in social, economic and political/governance models), a model of reconciliation between two countries (France and Germany), a model of human rights etc.
