Abstract

The 1984 Spinelli Plan was a visionary proposal for a more integrated and politically cohesive Federal Europe. This study examines the period from 1984 to 1992, when Spinelli's ideas significantly influenced European integration, particularly through institutional reforms leading to the Maastricht Treaty. It explores how proposals like strengthening the European Parliament and enhancing the autonomy of the European Commission contributed to more effective governance. Despite implementation challenges, the plan acted as a catalyst for treaty reform and deeper integration. Spinelli's legacy remains evident in today's European Union, reflecting his vision of a Europe united economically, politically, and socially.
