color="#000000">Fifty years ago six countries in postwar Europe
organized themselves as a "common market" for trading coal and
steel. What has become the European Union was meant to
encourage<br>
peace and prosperity in a place that had known two terribly
destructive world wars.<br>
<br>
Today the EU has nearly 30 member states and sees itself
increasingly as the democratic counterweight to US
"hyper-power."<br>
<br>
This talk will explore recent, sometimes frustrated, attempts to bring
the EU's nearly 30 countries under a single constitution, partly in
the hope of exerting a more unified European<br>
influence in global affairs.<br>
