When it comes to the international relations theory the underlying theories on which the legitimacy of organizations like EU and WTO hugely depends upon are strongly influenced by the political philosophies of different traits as they are adapted and applied to the international relations (Elsig 2007). The distinction between the output and the input legitimacy has been established by the political scientists (Scharpf 1999, also see Verney, 2006; Keohane and Nye 2001: 282287)
The first reason is; to expand the concept of a state with the help of an ideational strategy so that it could encompass EU and the second reason is the breaking of the nation-state concept regarding the understanding of the democracy that is found in the EU and its member states by the use of a discursive strategy. Therefore, even if the first notion regarding the expansion of the concept of the state won't win many converts, the second reason will be very useful as it will show the extent to which EU is and probably will remain different form its nearby counterparts which are also economically advanced nations with implemented governance of democracy such as; Switzerland, United States and Japan and also, some of EU's own member states (Schmidt and Monnet, 2004)
Governments are being forced to create and provide a friendly climate for the investments as the free market economy provides since, their only goal is to increase their profits. Sometimes it is very hard for a single state to follow the isolated policy and enforce unilateral rules regarding the tax law, social justice or the protection of the nature (Sterud 1996: 179; also see Bicchi, 2006)
Although there is a European Parliament which is very powerful and often its power is underestimated by many but the problem with this European Parliament was that it didn't work in the traditional way that the national parliament used to work. The European Parliament with the Council of Ministers forms a co-legislator in the best case scenario but its executive management is very limited as there is no actual European government 'government' (in the traditional sense) (Thomassen, Schmitt 1999: 131; also see Aziz, 2004), also, the right of initiative is not disposed of by them either
The slow increase in the function as well as the role of the European Parliament is because it has been one of the intellectual foundations that made that happen. The international organizations such as the WTO's legitimacy are also judged by it (Verney, 2006)
The question of democratic legitimacy EU is definitely not a nation state; as everyone likes to remind and debate on it. It is "the first truly postmodern political form" (Ruggie 1993: 139-40; also see Aziz, 2006), "less than a federation, more than a regime" (Wallace 1983; also see Aziz, 2006) "sui generis," or an "unidentified political object" (Delors, cited in Schmitter 1996: 1 also see Aziz, 2006)
By doing this it seems that Frank has reverted to the categories that are built in the nature of the law and are derived from the experience that one has in the domestic law with regards to constitutional context. Robert Howse has put great emphasis on the fact that in an international law the legitimacy transgresses an enquiry into the underlying values is required as well as the formal principle of consent (Howse 2001: 600-604), which was termed by Joseph Weiler as the social legitimacy of the rules as a "broad, empirically determined, societal acceptance of the system" (Weiler 1999: 80-81; also see Castiglione, 2005)
representation and governance. The input and the output legitimacy have inevitable trade-off between a government that is for the people and a government that is by the people (Wessels, Katz 1999: 5; also see Bicchi, 2006)

Hence, Ireland's jump into European Union and its enthusiasm over pro-business economic policies have largely been credited for this benefit to the economy, as well as the land's regional and religious crisis of identity. (Alvarez, 2005) Advancement into the Future The end to centuries of threadbare existence, of living hand to mouth, or as some Irish joke, of glass to mouth (given the alcoholism that privation that drove many Irish people to seek comfort in Guinness) has been stark, and the EU's involvement deserves much credit for this cultural shift
Today, even in Northern Ireland, the fact that the land has received considerable amounts of extra financial support from the EU's structural funds, as an Objective One region is cited as one of the reasons for Northern Ireland's improved prosperity. (Aughey & Morrow, 1996) The Divided Irish Nation and People -- Improving Relations between Protestants and Catholics as a result of the EU? At present, the Irish economy still consists of two economies, that of the Republic and that of Northern Ireland
Tariff-free access to EC markets have attracted foreign investors to what was once an unattractive economic region, and combined with regional grants of the EU, prosperity has skyrocketed. (Munck, 1993, pp
The European Community (EC) became the EU in 1993, when the Maastricht Treaty on European Union (TEU) was approved. (Wood and Yesilada, 1996, p
The responsibility to do such is dependent on the concept of basic structure in case of local authority is powers conferred upon it by the centre. (Balchin; Sykora; Bull, 1991, p
The EC considers its regional policy not as mere transfers but instead as a tool to underpin the economic base of the recipient areas and to foster regional convergence. (Bouvet, 2006, pp: 3-4) The Regional policy, which is creation of the EU's acknowledgment of the economic disparities between its central and peripheral areas which was known as the European Community, has risen in political and economic significance from the beginning of 1975
In case of any event, the impact of the EU on every aspect of regional policy has been distinctly visible for some years and particularly more recently in the European Spatial Development Perspective -- ESDP on which there was a general consensus by the Council of Ministers. (Magone, 2003, p
The widening of the EU to the Central & eastern European nations, in which the per capita GDP levels are considered to be really lower compared to the four cohesion nations would spell important revamping of European regional policies. (Martin, 1999, pp: 1-2) The Regional policy of the EU is founded on the financial solidarity between the member states whose contributions to the Union budget is given to the less affluent regions and social groups
The decision to be arrived is whether there is a need for homogenization across space of some total measures like per capital income, unemployment or rates of employment, or health and education indicators. (Puga, 2001, p
The greater diverse the behaviors to be regulated, the more hard it becomes to design transparent regulations. (Roberts; Springer, 2001, p
