How to Govern Disorder at Europe’s Borders | ||
in Federalist Debate (The) , Year XXVIII, Number 2, July 2015 , 2015 | ||
In an interview published in Welt am Sonntag on 8 March Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commission, said “With its own army, Europe could react more credibly to the threat to peace in a member state or in a neighboring state…Such an army would help us to form common foreign and security policies and allow Europe to take on responsibility in the world”. This is the most recent and influential statement that a new priority is emerging in the European political agenda as an undeferrable necessity: European defense. This need manifests itself when the measures for the stabilization of the euro have proved unquestionably successful and the Juncker Plan has promoted an investment fund, destined to grow in the next years. | ||
