Globalists’ Defence Ambitions Against Sovereigntists’ Opportunism in Europe

This paper represents a product of doctoral student and mentor cooperation. In the paper, a globalist versus sovereigntist perspective regarding the building of European defence forces is analysed. Namely, globalists believe that the defence cooperation between individuals, institutions and corporations would ensure that the potential fruits of globalization would be spread throughout the world, fairly, safety, and equally. Economic globalism aims towards the exchange of goods, services, and capital that accompanied the market exchange with international defence complex between the EU and NATO, which produced, purchased, and acquired the most advanced defence capabilities. On the contrary, sovereigntists pushed many times in history the world toward an edge of destruction but globalists had intervened rapidly by preventing sovereign plots those were orchestrated at entities from military globalism as product of sovereign alliances or military treaties in the neorealist international system. We show the importance of the crucial tension between globalism and sovereignism on the example of the European defence. Neoliberal globalist system is more stable and interconnected for peace to prevent any escalations between sovereign states. It should not be forgotten that European globalists had tried to join the feudal and modern European states by joining them into the European community toward the “United States of Europe” about 200 years ago but this attempt had failed. The research was conducted by using the content analysis of the relevant sources, methods of comparation, deduction, and synthesis. Regional franchise of globalists tried to resume the implementation of idea of the common army that was postponed or delayed in the period since the Pleven Plan was refused. However, the ambitions expressed in the Plan are again actual in Brussels.
