ABSTRACT: The European Union (EU) has enabled Europe’s peaceful unification by helping to surmount rivalries between nation states. Individual states cannot successfully manage today’s challenges such as the scarcity of resources, the consequences of global warming or migration. The voluntary bundling of national sovereignty in the EU has created a common area of democracy and freedom. The Union is the guarantor of security and prosperity in the new multipolar world, which is characterised by new emerging powers. In order to secure a sustainable future, it has to develop into a political union. | ||
