I have edited the main page to make it reflect Supranationalism in the dictionary sense of the word. I have also emphasised the European Debate, and placed Weiler's theory at the bottom. Will 12:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I have edited the page to make it have a better layout. I added boldness on line one, and I added a definition list. --Ysangkok 18:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Supranational union

Some interesting material on constitutions of supranational unions which might be included in this article or an associated one at some point.

"Confederation"

I object to the use of the word "confederation" in the opening sentence, surely a Federal Europe would still be a supranational union? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acamdc88 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Supranational and multilateralism

Merging these topics would be a bad idea. The concepts are distinct because supranational means that political power is passed to an organization/a body beyond the nation state. On the other hand, nation states are very capable of acting multilaterally without ceding any political power to an organization beyond the nation states. BartBee (talk) 17:32, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. It is very important to identify actors - legislatures - appropriately. A Supranational Union has a distinct-body (ex. PACE) that legislates and holds authority over domestic and federal actors. In multilateral system (NATO, IMF) Federal actors hold authority of the decisions made (more so in NATO...) Nevertheless, this seems to be a point of contention when trying to homogenize the concepts of multilateralism and supranationalism. Reddevil1421 (talk) 20:56, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the statements above - a supranational union is a definite entity whreas multilateralism is a concept and is a broader subject than can be defined in the Supranational union article. As there has been no movement on the merging issue for nearly 2 years I will remove the merge tag from both Supranational union and multilateralism articles. Zangar (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
