Europe, considered as a unitary (or so presumed) construction, has a hybrid and swinging nature. What it keeps the European Union together today is the Euro and its rules; but it is also what divides it, or at least what puts it in tension. The flower of the States’ sovereignty lost a petal – the monetary sovereignty – but it didn’t become anything else: neither a federal sovereignty, nor a set of institutions capable of producing a unitary political will, within the EU. The European Union is not a unitary subject, and it is crossed by multiple political spaces. There are the spaces of the States, marked by physical and juridical walls; there is the NATO space; there are different frontiers: frontiers of hospitality regimes, human rights frontiers, but also the frontier between Euro and the other monetary spaces.
