Europe Worldwide

thanks to the EU, Europe has a strong position in the world

Europe grow closer together is a goal of the EU, but not without the outside world vorzulassen. So is Europe in foreign and economic policies with confidence and emerge strengthened. It is also assumed that Europe in the context of globalization is strong - thanks to the EU.

A closed appearance is very important, especially in foreign policy. Since the states in Europe on many issues often agree, it works mostly well. Thus, an even stronger voice major powers like the U.S. or Russia to be - a European state in detail, without the EU in the background, would be less heard.

It is the policy and the population in many issues - especially relating to global issues - often agree. It is sometimes lacking in confidence to implement this view - and thus possibly a superpower against the raise. To find most of the governments and people in Europe wars with economic or religious background unacceptable. The U.S., however, call into the live wars - with the pretext of fighting terrorism - in the opinion of most Europeans, economic interests (eg oil) and religious intolerance (vs. Christianity. Islam) as the actual reason.
