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.

Kryzysy które uderzyły UE po 2008 wyzwoliły tendencje dezintegracyjne. Wymaga to nie tylko dalszych, pogłębionych badań nad stanem Unii, lecz również teoretycznej konceptualizacji, która wspomoże wyjaśnienie procesów dezintegracji. W niniejszym artykule zaproponowano cztery podejścia teoretyczne do prowadzenia tego typu analiz, które mogą z wielu stron wesprzeć wyjaśnienie problemów dezintegracji regionalnej w Europie, jak i w innych częściach świata. Podejście autora bazuje na istniejących koncepcjach teoretycznych: neofunkcjonalizmie, konstruktywizmie, instytucjonalizmie i realizmie. Autor poszukuje komplementarności ujęć teoretycznych, aby wyjaśnić zjawisko dezintegracji.
