  3. NATO’sArticle 4 & 5 Article 4: Anymember state can convene a meeting of NATO members to "consult" when it feels its independence or security are threatened. In practice, it has rarely been used and sends a strong political symbol to the greater world that NATO is concerned about a particular situation. Article 5 is known as the "one-for-all and all-for-one" article, the keystone of NATO as an organization. It states that an "armed attack" against one member is an attack against all and sets in motion the possibility of collective self-defense. Allactions taken by the alliance must be immediately reported to the UN Security Council and that "such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security. « Source: http://www.rferl.org/content/explainer-nato-articles-4-and-5/24626653.html

  4. After WWI, idealists dreamed that a united Europe could have forestalled the conflagration. WWII only intensified these sentiments.Hence, after that war,vigorous debate ensued over the future organization of Europe. • The functionalist, Jean Monnet, believed that the weakened forces of nationalism could in the long run be undermined by the logic of economic integration. • Beginning with the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community ( the predecessor of the European Community - the EEC), he proposed cooperation ventures in nonpolitical issue areas. • According to the political theorist David Mitrany, these ventures would spill over eventually from the economic arena to issues of national security. • Nonetheless, none at the time could have envisioned a union that in 2010 would bring together 493 million citizens in 27 countries, allowing each of them to travel freely with an EU passport, enjoying an economy of over $14 trillion, and with many of them (13) using a common currency, the euro.

  5. EU PoliciesandProblems • The EU has moved progressively into more policy areas, from trade and agriculture to transport, competition, social policy, monetary policy, the environment, justice, and common foreign and security policy. • Among the many controversial issues has been the failed effort to develop a common European foreign and security policy. (i.e. war on terror, War in Iraq) , disputes over deepening. • Equally problematic are the issues surrounding enlargement: Should the EU continue to expand its membership by reaching out the newly democratic states of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union ? Will Turkey, the first candidate state with a majority of Muslim population , become a member or special partner to the EU ? Will the EU governing institutions be able to change ?
