superstate : ウィキペディア英語版
superstate
A superstate is defined as "a large and powerful State formed when several smaller countries unite",〔("Superstate" ), Cambridge dictionaries online〕 "A large and powerful state formed from a federation or union of nations".〔(Oxford dictionaries )〕
This is distinct from the concept of superpower, although these are frequently seen together. It is also distinct from the concept of empire, where one nation dominates other nations through military, political, and economic power, although an empire may also be a superstate.
In the early XX century, "superstate" had a similar definition as today's supranational organisations. In a 1927 article by Edward A. Harriman on the League of Nations, a superstate was defined as merely "an organisation, of which a state is a member, which is superior to the member themselves", in that "() complete superstate has legislative, executive and judicial organs to make, to execute and to interpret its laws". According to this definition, Harriman saw the League of Nations as a "rudimentary superstate", and the United States as "an example of a complete and perfect superstate".〔Edward A. Harriman, (The League of Nations a Rudimentary Superstate ), ''American Political Science Review'' / Volume 21 / Issue 01 / February 1927, pp 137-140〕
In the 1970s, academic literature used the term "superstate" to indicate a particularly rich and powerful state, in a similar fashion to the term superpower.〔V. K. WICKRAMASINGHE, (JAPAN — THE EMERGING SUPERSTATE ? Some Thoughts on Herman Kahn ). ''The Developing Economies'', Volume 11, Issue 2, pages 196–210, June 1973〕
In contemporary political debate, especially the one centred on the European Union, the term "superstate" is used to indicate a (usually deemed unwelcome) development in which the Union takes over the character of a State (including the monopoly on violence) thus abolishing the sovereignty and independence of its member states.
For instance, Glyn Morgan opposes the perspective of a "European superstate" to the ones of "a Europe of nation-states" and of "a post-sovereign European polity".〔Glyn Morgan, (The Idea of a European Superstate: Public Justification and European Integration )〕 In her definition, a "European superstate is nothing more than a sovereign state - a tried and tested type of polity that predominates in the moder world - operating on a European wide scale",〔 i.e., "a unitary European state"〔
The term was famously used by Margaret Thatcher in her 1988 Bruges speech, when she decried the perspective of "a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels",〔Margaret Thatcher, (Speech to the College of Europe ("The Bruges Speech") ), 20 September 1988〕 and has since entered the eurosceptic lexicon.
Tony Blair argued in 2000 that he welcomed an EU as a "superpower, not a superstate"〔Stephen Haseler, (Super-State: The New Europe and Its Challenge to America ), p. 85〕
