Part I - Conclusion: Stretching Europe

According to Parag Khanna, "the EU is gradually demonstrating its growing willingness to transform every country within its reach - as it does better than any other superpower". However, a looming question for the EU is that there are so many countries that all need each other. The EU as a superpower requires the cooperation of all of its members. Unlike China and the United States, decisions are going to be extremely difficult to make, since each country has its own agenda, there is not a consistent voice. Also, by having so many different countries, there are also going to be many enemies obtained. Would one country want to have more power than the rest? Would that result in unrest within the EU nations? Right now, the expansion of the EU is far from over, especially if it wants to survive the expansion of China and the US.
