Linked to the above is also the question:\u00a0 what kind of normative theorizing can best capture its essential character as a pluralist but ordered political whole? In attempting answer these questions by drawing a sketch of European politeia, we revisit the concept of \u2018organized synarchy\u2019 to argue that, despite integration\u2019s current uncertainties, it has brought about an advanced system of ordered symbiosis among highly codetermined as well as co-evolving polities. The point will also be made that such a condition is not about the subordination of the parts to a superior federal centre, but rather about their preservation as distinctive but constituent units; it is about a common association retaining its essential character as a politically ordered plurality composed of multiple co-evolving polities.<\/p>CV:<p>Dimitris N.
