Credit should be given for the peace in Western/Central Europe but I'm not sure the European Union is the one to give it to. I'm not opposed to a European Union, but the one we have today is just broken. They put countries with completely different economies in the same pot and act surprised when the result is a poisonous stew. It sucks that the Noble price is used like this. I'm sure that there are plenty of people/orginisations out there working for peace that deserves this price much more than the European Union. |
yugoslavia was not a eu member and the EU has only recently had a representant for foreign policies (4-5 years ago)
the argument seems fallacious to me
putting different economies together ? what is China ? what are the US ? they have the same disparities in GDP per region... the main big diffence is that our central bank has a very limited power compared to the federal reserve or the People's Bank of China
