If you were asked to advise European Union policy makers today about how to plan for the future, what would you say? In your answer, include advice on issues such as expansion, more intense pursuit of economic, political, and/or military unions, dealing with the instability caused by terrorism, and so forth. What are the costs and benefits of pursuing any particular path to resolve these issues?

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Identify the EU's policies to date on expansion, unions, and so forth.
2. Explain the pitfalls of expansion, which may center on security and/or economics. Consider how political and/or military unions might address such pitfalls. Consider important contemporary issues such as terrorism and regional recessions for the future of the EU.
3. Describe the costs and benefits of pursuing any particular path to resolve such issues. Again, economics, security, sovereignty, and other such issues may come into play.
4. Provide a concise summary and effective conclusion.
