Dwie wizje Unii Europejskiej a problem tożsamości narodowej

The article addresses the crucial question of European and national identity in context of two models of the European integration which are respectively called the liberal and the republican project. In my opinion the liberal project which dominates in contemporary policy of the European integration is unable to overcome all problems relating to the questions of European and national identity and especially to the idea of “unity in diversity”. In this text I try to sketch out some reforms and improvements of the EU institutional framework which are necessary in order to preserve and protect diversity and multiplicity of national and regional cultures on the basis of the republican project.
