Title: The Common Foreign and Security Policy as a Solution for the Crisis in the European Union
Abstract: The European Union, due to the intensive impact of globalization and the achieved level of socio-economic development, is an important element of the global economy. The economic and financial crisis that started in 2008, affects the situation of the economies around the world. Despite the similarities of the crisis, different countries in various regions of the world should make individual analyses of the weaknesses of their economies and social models. The weakness of the European Union, as a group which comprises 28 countries with diverse potential, includes the difficulty in formulating and expressing its unified standpoint in the international forum. The growing importance of the relationship between the international parties contributes to the fact that the role of clear communication with the environment is steadily increasing. The intensive development of the Common Foreign and Security Policy is a chance of the European Union. This should be done both through institutional changes and increased awareness of the society and the political class in different countries on the need for closer cooperation in the field of foreign policy groups. The danger of this process is the existence of differences in national interests and poor skills in a constructive international dialogue between EU Member States. The Foreign and Security Policy of the EU enables to speak – and act – as one in world affairs.
