THE ISSUE OF SECURITY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION ECONOMICS

Abstract

The subject of this research paper covers the issues of
European economic integration as a specific economic, political and
global phenomenon, as well as current issues from the domain of
security within the framework of common foreign and security policy.
For this purpose, the paper will present the development of European
integrations and the creation of the European Union, the basic
instruments of enlargement policy, economic progress and the security
aspects of EU integrations and enlargement. While from the
perspective of economics and the common market the Union is making
big progress and the results achieved have become the reality of the
European people and EU economy, in terms of the EU policies and
activities in the domain of security, there is a standstill in the
development of common goals, especially in the field of foreign and
security policies. In this area there are often diverse and quite
contradictory foreign political interests of the member states and
major discrepancies in the conduct of foreign affairs, which is the
reason for the low intensity of action in creating a more effective
security and defence policy. The conclusions of the paper point to the
fact that the objectives of security and defence policy must be clear
and feasible for the European Union itself.
