TL;DR: The model of executive federalism, where the Union takes decisions in the fields where it is competent and Member States implement them, was valid for the old Communities and still perceivable in the Treaties and in the rulings of the Court of Justice as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The fashion in which the European Union pursues its objectives has varied enormously over time.

From the signing of the Treaty of Rome to the making of Maastricht, the EC has developed through a series of celebrated intergovernmental bargains, each of which set the agenda for an intervening period of consolidation. The most fundamental task facing a theoretical account of European integration is to explain these bargains. Today many would revive neo-functionalism’s emphasis on sui generis characteristics of EC institutions, in particular the importance of unintended consequences of previous decisions and the capacity of supranational officials to provide leadership. This article joins the debate by reasserting the self-critique, advanced almost two decades ago by Emst Haas and other leading neo-functionalists, who
