Eurosteoporosis: A Novel Proposal for a Discussion on the Acting Level of the European Union in the International Politics

Abstract

This study claims that the state of "Eurosclerosis" experience in the European Union countries has been transformed into to "Eurosteoporosis" as a result of developments resulting from several causes. As the European Union´s ability to solve the problems today it faces decreases, the prominence of its functional disability in institutional meaning and the ineffectiveness of steps taken to overcome problems incresase the concerns about the future of the European Union. It is not possible to claim that the European Union has undergone such a transformation that it can overcome the robust problems of the millenninum through the reforms after the Lisbon Treaty. The developments in international politics in the 2000s and the effects of the global financial crisis that the emerged after 2008 triggered the state of "Eurosteoporosis".
