The European Union -- Is It More Powerful than Its
Member Nations? : This 7 page report discusses whether or
not the new power and primacy of the European Union will
ultimately outshine the sovereignty of the EU’s independent
nation-members. Numerous factors relating to modern Europe
cause any political scientist or student of European history to
wonder how long this “union” will hold and what will be its
ultimate outcomes. Therefore, it would be truly foolish to only
study the politics and attitudes of the Union without also
studying the national origins that shaped many of those same
attitudes. Bibliography lists 4 sources. BWeuNAT.rtf

France and Luxembourg in the European Union : A 7 page
paper discussing the advantages and disadvantages of
membership in the European Union for these two countries,
emphasizing the first few months of euro trading. Luxembourg
never has been large enough either in size or wealth to be
considered as a "power" of Europe, but like the businessman
who finds a niche and fills it, Luxembourg appears to be poised
to gather great gains from EU membership. France has other
issues with which to deal. The national ideology is so different
from much of the rest of Europe that France likely will have
difficulties adjusting, but the promise of greater economic
prosperity will make any necessary transition less painful for
them. Bibliography lists 8 sources. KS-EU99.doc
