Common Foreign And Security Policy

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how The European Union decided to adopt a common foreign and security policy in 1993 when the Treaty on European Union was signed at Maastricht, in order to safeguard and promote the interests of the member states. It explains why Europe needs to integrate its defense and foreign policies and how integration in this area will enhance its role in the international arena. With economic ties strengthening between member states, it is only natural that their political affairs will merge in the long run and since Europe now has a common currency and has turned in a large single market, it is impossible to keep political affairs separate for each country.

From the Paper:

"With economic ties strengthening between member states, it is only natural that their political affairs will merge in the long run. Politics is strongly interconnected with economics and activity is the latter always has an influential bearing on the former. European nations cannot expect to remain interested in the economic side of the integration while forgetting all the other areas."
