Question

Explain the process of evolution of the European Union from an economic union to an increasingly political one. 

Answer in Brief

Solution

The process of evolution of the European Union are as follows:

  1. After World War II, Europe was shattered, and there was a need for a collaborative effort to rebuild Europe. America aided them with the Marshall Plan. The Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) was created in 1948 as part of the Marshall Plan to provide economic assistance to European nations. This was a significant decision that laid the groundwork for future European economic unity.
  2. Another significant event occurred in 1957, with the formation of the European Economic Community (EEC). This body serves as a venue for the discussion of European economic and political issues. It looked after the interests of the European states as a whole. After the Cold War, this entity eventually led to the formation of the European Union (EU).
  3. The EU is a group of 27 European states that serves as Europe's collective decision-making body. It is in charge of Europe's political and economic affairs. The body serves as a venue for collective discourse on issues specific to Europe as well as global issues.
