If the European Union represents for many the process of regional integration and, consequently, peace for the sake of regulation, in the first crisis the mists were dissipated, revealing the real character of the community project. The objective of this article is to unfold the European process by the tool of critical theory of Law. The international organization reaches an unprecedented level of institutional and normative development, at the same time as it deteriorates socioeconomically, with the deconstruction of the social welfare model. For this reason, the comprehension of the social phenomenon in its fullness demands a look from the point of view of the materialist State theory. The theoretical discussion involves the undoing of post-Maastricht European illusions. In this way, the internationalization of capitalist relations in the post-Fordist era undermines the model of social welfare in European societies.
