欧盟政治体系中的政治时间以何种方式制度化？本文提出了有关欧盟政治时间的五项主张，并强调了它们对欧盟运作的影响。这些主张强调：（i）欧盟政治周期不存在，这会造成动员和同步问题，但也允许时间上的多元化； (ii) 强调与持续性和开放性相关的线性政治时间，而不是周期性政治时间，后者有利于制度实践和政策的不连续性； (iii) 关于时间设定的密集谈判，鼓励按时间表进行治理； (iv) 一方面欧盟政治时间对成员国影响的敏感性，另一方面 (v) 成员国政治时间的欧洲化。欧盟临时宪法中达成的平衡对其未来至关重要。
In what manner is political time institutionalized in the political system of the EU? This article advances five propositions on political time in the EU and highlights their implications for the workings of the EU. The propositions stress: (i) the absence of a dominant EU political cycle, which creates problems of mobilization and synchronization, but also allows for temporal plurality; (ii) an emphasis on linear political time, associated with ongoingness and open-endedness, as opposed to cyclical political time, which favours discontinuity in institutional practices and policies; (iii) intensive bargaining over time-setting, which encourages governing by timetable; (iv) the sensitivity of EU political time to member state influence, on the one hand, and (v) the Europeanization of political time in the member states, on the other. The balances struck in the temporal constitution of the EU are critical to its future.
