  Abstract:  

The present article proceeds from the assumption that nowadays’ interpretations of the history of European integration be they of federalist, neofunctional or of realist demeanour cannot suffice in offering a complete picture as long as they fail to take into consideration the driving forces of the integration and the management of desynchronizations. It is particular in this realm of the management of desynchronizations that Europe managed based on avant-garde principles, compromise arrangements and constant thrusts towards modernisation to create a community level solidarity that affords its members to shield away the side effects of modernisation. In this way, Europe can be credited with an original contribution to creating a culture favourable to overcoming desynchronizations not by attempting homogenization but adaptation.

Key words: European integration, driving forces of integration, compromise arrangements
