Statsvetenskap är roligt

Världens roligaste kille, nästan varje dag, Eddie Izzard pratar här (mest) om EU. Kunde man lägga in youtubeklipp i uppsatser skulle jag lägga in slutet av den här delen som inledning.

And in Europe now we've a new thing: the European Union. 500 million people, 200 languages - no one's got a clue what there saying to each other! But it's the cutting edge of politics, in a very extraordinarily boring way. Because we've got 15 different countries in the European Union at the moment and trying to get them to decide anything is a little bit, "Which… wha… is it… oh no, here, back up, you… oh, you're in with him! Uh-huh, I'm with… Oh, you're with him!" you know.

Helt briljant, och helt i linje med ett annat citat jag skrattar åt varje gång jag läser det i uppsatsen.

Andra citatet:

Europe differs from classic states in being massively and deliberative boring… Europe itself is all gray men in grey Mercedes´ discussing issues designed to be technical and mindbogglingly uninteresting. Europe is about warding off any really interesting action (which would, presumably, be dangerous, nationalistic, racist, and so on) with reasonable rules making it unnecessary (John W. Meyer - The European union and the globalization of culture, 2001)

Och så studerar folk annat än Europeiseringsprocesser. Galet, de är ju helt av banan.
