Topic: European Security and Defence Identity


  
  A Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union --E--
In 1995, however, the European Council agreed to abandon the name in favour of the euro, in deference to German concern that the ECU would not be credible, given its track record of repeated devaluation occasioned by the weakness of several of its components, notably the lira, the peseta, the escudo and the drachma.
Their assertions that European unity, even peace, depended on EMU had not convinced ordinary people, who remained largely resistant to losing their currencies in Germany, France, the UK, Sweden and Denmark (in Italy and Spain, as in the de facto D-Mark zone of Belgium and The Netherlands, the population was more favourable).
The European Council (not to be confused with the Council of Ministers) refers to the twice-yearly, or occasionally more frequent, summit meetings of EU heads of government (plus the directly elected presidents of France and Finland) and the president of the Commission.

Employed during the construction of the League of Nations, the concept of collective security goes beyond the pure idea of defence to include, according to Inis Claude, 'arrangements for facilitating peaceful settlement of disputes,' assuming that the mechanisms of preventing war and defending states under armed attack will 'supplement and reinforce each other' (1984:245).
Like balance-of-power, collective security works on the assumption that any potential aggressor would be deterred by the prospect of joint retaliation, but it goes beyond the military realm to include a wider array of security problems.
Constructivists contend that not only are identities and interests of actors socially constructed, but also that they must share the stage with a whole host of other ideational factors emanating from people as cultural beings.

Wave goodbye to: wave-particle duality, entanglement, non-locality, faster-than-light signalling, instantaneous action, Schroedinger's paradox, the fashionable modern indifference and dogmatic contempt for physical explanation, and all the spooky Zen-like convolutions and contortions of standard quantum and relativity theory.
Wave hello to: cause and effect, locality, the law of identity, solving the EPR paradox, putting physicality back into physics, explaining the constant speed of light.
In the 20th Century, Ayn Rand identified the connection between coercion and mental paralysis - "Force and mind are opposites" - and went on to identify the sort of social system most conducive to human consciousness - laissez faire capitalism.
