"A #nation is a group of people who see themselves as a cohesive & coherent unit based on shared cultural or historical criteria"
"A #State is an independent,sovereign government exercising control over a certain spatially defined & bounded area,whose borders are usually clearly defined & internationally recognized by other states"
"In order to make sure integration would serve their interests,structures & procedures were designed to preserve their control over decision-making;hence the weight of the member states in the European political system(Hoffmann,1966; Garrett,1992)-[Dehousse]
