Has the EU Gone “Neo-Con”? Competence Creeping Towards Failure
The European Union was created to achieve peace through prosperity, given a supranational framework for it. But through decades-long competence creep, it has grown into an administrative behemoth and, more recently, platform for ideological policies that are reminiscent of the American ‘neo-con’ years under George W. Bush. This weakens the EU internally, creating backlash and growing contestation, and damages its capacity to cooperate and conduct diplomacy externally.
