Webber's Argument Analysis

Past Setbacks; High politics surpass the economic gains. The thoughts and scarred lifestyle due to cold war with Soviet Union has faded impact on the “new” EU states. Old states fear the aggressive anti-Communist elites as they displayed a vast growth in an incredibly short phase.Though these States tend to be optimistic yet resist dictatorship and there is a fear of being swamped by the powerful West. CEE’s have a cold war vision against the United States while Western Europe has strong

During the Second World War, Europe suffered huge loss due to the destruction of properties and infrastructure that as a result led to the collapse of their economy. Besides that, a lot of the European countries were very much against Germany, which was the country that started the war under Hitler’s rule. Thus, after the war ending, the mutual relationship that had existed between Germany and its neighbors especially France was imperative (Wilkinson, 2016). Ultimately this led to the creation of the new movement aimed at creating unity, later the movement resulted in the formation of European Union. Thus, since its formation, the union has helped a lot in bringing the European nations back to their feet especially those that terribly attacked.

In the wake of two devastating European wars, there was a vague desire across Europe for more unity to hopefully prevent yet another terrible conflict from breaking out. However, views over the proper scope and implementation of any such unity were often divided between the philosophies of supranationalism and intergovernmentalism. At different times, both ideas played a part in shaping the future European Union, depending on the moods of European leaders and their constituents.

The European Union established after the Second World War was meant to give Europeans a common sense of urgency or direction. As time went on and different treaties were enacted the EU went from a trade agreement between six nations that were meant to help stabilize to a union where countries are becoming almost inseparable from the union itself due to the lack of autonomy and dependence.

After the World War II, federalism exerted a significant impact on the European integration progress. One of the most significant federalists, Altiero Spinelli, has given strongly impacts on the processing of European integration after the World War II. In his idea, the federalism is a theory for political integration, which advocates integration by drawing up a federal constitution to build a supranational framework and in order to keep national or regional peace and stability. This Article shows Altiero Spinelli as a significant federalist pushing the European to be a unity and his major contributes in the process of European Union integration and where it was successful, when it faded during the few developed decades.

European Union is remains one of unique and controversial organisation in nowadays which symbolise the association of European countries with shared sovereignty over socialism and imperial ambitions. President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy once sad that: “The age of the nation state is over and the idea that countries can stand alone is an ‘illusion’ and a ‘lie’” (Martin D., 2010). Nigel Farage, the leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party claims the opposite:”We must break up the eurozone. We must set those Mediterranean countries free”(BrainyQuate, 2014). Opinion about European Union are very divided, part of society who are support the monetary and security policy and other growing part which Eurosceptical and who believes that this kind of policies not just undermining the sovereignty of the state but also destroying the national entity. In this work will be analysed the influence of European Membership of the sovereignty of Great Britain and to what extend it has influence on the state.

The European Union is faced with its impending decline, which has accelerated in recent weeks with anxieties regarding the British referendum, which is becoming a primary concern on the continent. A possible “Brexit” could possibly lead to the fifth largest economy in the world and the second largest economy in the Eurozone from leaving the European Union (E.U). The “Brexit” is the most contested issue both within the United Kingdom (U.K) and the European continent. In the wake of a rampant security and refugee crises in Europe, Europe’s need to keep an economically strong member of the E.U in the organization, is needed to combat the difficulties the continent is facing, particularly the Mediterranean members of the E.U. These

Stability, security, and prosperity are qualities every individual desires, yet achieving such conditions may be a struggle in certain parts of the world. In Europe where two world wars have erupted, multiple wars/battles have broken out between countries, and where the Black Plague swept through; causalities are high and resentment is established in some cultures. Yet the continent is beautiful everlasting landscape from the green rolling hills of Ireland to the snow-capped mountains of the Alps, every country has its beauty. A group of nations desired to keep European states safe and preserved, so they established the European Union (EU). Objectives of the European Union is to have respect for liberty, democracy, human rights,

The current (and fairly liberal) open entry policy allows ease of expansion for the EU, yet it cheapens Europe as a whole. The EU was a pact whose creation was fraught with political opposition and the resistance of a continent’s history. These first constituents worked to forge ties together that go far beyond culture and history distant or recent, it stems from a desire to enhance the well-being of their people, to join the continent together and

There is a consensus on the positive effect of European integration on at least one aspect of national politics, one being the strengthening of the executive power. This is due to the fact that the executive has direct access to European policy-making and policy-makers in the Council, in the European institutions and other Member States

In this essay I will discuss why and how the European Union (EU) was set up and the advantages and disadvantages of membership. The EU was set up after World War II in 1939- 1945, bringing harmony and peace among the EU. I will also explain and evaluate the political and economic situation between Post War Europe and understand the historical development of the European Union.

Historically, attempts at unifying Europe can be traced back as far as 1464 when, after the fall of Constantinople, King George of Podrebady suggested that a “league of Christian Nations” should be formed (Wen, 2013). However, it was only after 1945 that the process for European integration, a process “whereby sovereign states partially relinquish, or pool, national sovereignty to maximize their relative power and interest” began (Kenealy et al., 2015). The theorization European integration started within the political subfield of International Relations (Pollack, 2001). However, the European Union is a complex and unique international organization. Are International Relations (IR) theories able to account for the origin, development and future of European integration?

Many authors over several decades have made an attempt to conceptualize and analyze European Union’s Foreign policy. Some interpret the policy to be an ‘ongoing puzzle’, emerging from the distinction of either being a derivative policy of a common Union, or being a policy of cooperation amongst the independent EU member states, while the others consider the policy area to be ‘a moveable feast in a state of constant flux’. (Christiansen & Tonra, 2005) (Smith H. , 2002) . There are even those academicians who presume that European Union does not have a foreign policy as it is not a sovereign institution, but is a common negotiation body institutionalized by the member states in order to formulate certain mutually favorable

Established in 1887, the European Union (EU) was initially created as a means to protect and defend peace and facilitate economic recovery after the end of World War Two throughout the six original members states; France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Since its conception, the EU has become a significant player in the global arena, economically, politically and also in the form of humanitarian and environmental aid and assistance around the world, currently providing 60% of the worlds development assistance ( Michel, 2007, pg. 23). The question of whether the European union is a significant global actor however, needs firstly to take into consideration the very definition of the European Union as a global entity, and also the definition of the area of ‘actorness’. Once clarified, this essay will argue that the EU’s global presence, capability as an institution in international politics and its future opportunity all demonstrate the EU’s capabilities as a significant global actor in the global political arena.
