The EU has come a long way to become a global actor able to intervene in diferent fields in the international scenario. Institutions and capacitities have been set up throughout the years and Member States are more and more comitted in surrendering national powers to EU institutions. In the process, the EU learnt from its own mistakes, especially in the Balkans. Today, we can asses that the EU no longer exerts soft power through diplomacy and trade, but It is able to act military in diferent part of the world for the sake of expanding peace and security. |
