'EU is suffering from a crisis of decision making, that means it will slide into irrelevance' Stratfor Founder. (SP).
The EU has a range of problems that it cannot solve because of fundamental weakness in its decision making that dooms it to irrelevance, George Friedman, US political scientist and founder of think tank Stratfor, told the EurActiv blog on Friday.
"The future of the EU is interesting, because
it cannot make any significant decisions now, and it cannot decide
to dissolve. What will happen is what is happening now: less and less
does Europe make decisions, and when it does, European states pay less
and less attention to them," Friedman said.
He drew attention to the disagreement between the EU's centers
of power in Brussels and Germany, and the governments of Poland and
Hungary. Although representatives of EU institutions have criticized the
politics of those member countries, their governments have continued
to pursue their own course, ignoring the EU's input and consequently
consigning it to irrelevance.
"The Polish decision to change the make-up
of the board of their media and to change their judiciary, this is what
Merkel and the EU have time for. So what does Poland do? The same thing
Hungary did: it ignores it, because it doesn’t matter. The EU will
exist, and will happily sink into irrelevance." Read the full story here.
