The crises that hit the EU after 2008 brought about disintegration tendencies. That requires not only further in-depth research on the state of the Union, but also theoretical conceptualisation facilitating an explanation of the processes of disintegration. In this article four theoretical approaches to carry out this type of analysis are proposed, which in a multilateral way may help to explain the problems of the regional disintegration in Europe, but also in other regions of the world. Author’s approach is based on existing theoretical concepts: neofunctionalism, constructivism, institutionalism and realism. Author seeks the complementarity between the theoretical approaches in order to explain the phenomenon of disintegration.
