Previous studies have applied theories of European integration to interpret crisis-led policymaking processes and integration outcomes in the EU. However, there has been little attempt to appraise the analytical leverage offered by major integration theories as a function of different crisis pressures. We theorize that diverse combinations of crisis pressures generate four decision-making scenarios in the EU, each of which can be ascribed to different combinations of analytical insights from neofunctionalism, intergovernmentalism, postfunctionalism, and federalism. We illustrate the value of our framework in relation to four EU crises concerning the euro area, refugees, Brexit and Covid-19. Overall, the paper makes a theoretical contribution to advance the debate on crisis-led integration in the EU.
以往的研究运用欧洲一体化理论来解读欧盟中由危机引发的决策过程和一体化成果。然而，鲜有人尝试评估主要一体化理论在不同危机压力作用下所提供的分析影响力。我们提出理论，认为危机压力的不同组合在欧盟产生了四种决策情景，每一种情景都可归因于新功能主义、政府间主义、后功能主义和联邦主义的不同分析见解组合。我们通过与欧元区、难民、英国脱欧和新冠疫情这四项欧盟危机相关的案例来说明我们框架的价值。总体而言，本文在推动欧盟危机导向型一体化辩论方面做出了理论贡献。
