Europe’s Existential Crossroads: The ‘Two-Speed’ Dilemma and the Future of EU Integration
The European Union is at a critical crossroads, grappling with the long-standing dilemma of whether to prioritize broader membership or deeper integration. Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan argues that the EU's current institutions are ill-equipped for a turbulent world, proposing a 'two-speed Europe' as a potential solution, though it faces immense hurdles. He predicts a 'snapping' of existing structures rather than incremental adaptation, as the union struggles to reconcile national sovereignty with the need for decisive action.
