Abstract

Europe has become a single economic space in recent years but still lacks the political and military sovereignty and unity required to fulfil its destiny and its professed ambitions as one of the major blocs in a new multipolar world. The enduring submission of the EU to US hegemony, which relies on the perpetuation of intra-European divisions to maintain an Atlantic alliance directed against Russia, China, North Africa and West Asia is detrimental to continental unification and harmful to the real interests of the old continent.
