Supranational political entities

A supranational union is a type of multi-national organisation where negotiated power is delegated to an authority by governments of member states. The concept of supranational union is sometimes used to describe theEuropean Union (EU), as a new type of political entity.[1] The EU is the only entity which provides for international popular elections, going beyond the level of political integration normally afforded by international treaty. The term "supranational" is sometimes used in a loose, undefined sense in other contexts, sometimes as a substitute for international, transnational or global.
