The EU: Effect, Not Cause, Of Peace

The EU’s Nobel Peace Prize: Not Just a Laughing Matter, Heritage Foundation Foundry, October 12, 2012. "The lesson of the EU’s prize—taken with the three prizes that the U.N. has won in various guises over the past decade and President Obama’s award in 2009 for promising to be more multilateral—is that the Nobel Committee, like a lot of elites, think that the way to promote peace is to diminish national sovereignty and the democratic control of politics by relying on supranational institutions of regional (or global) governance."
