Abstract: Abstract The introductory chapter and Chapters 1–7 have together established the nature and importance of the European Union (EU). On the importance of the EU, it was argued in Chapter 7 that if each Member State decided to go it alone, it would stand no chance of coping well, if at all, in a dramatically changing world economic and political order. This implies that the future for the EU is in this respect already predetermined: the Member States need to stick together and to integrate even more in both the economic and political fields if they are to survive, let alone succeed. But has this message struck a sensitive chord amongst the EU political leaders? This final chapter is devoted to providing a somewhat brief answer to this question.
