The European Union is a "union" in name only. In reality, it is an anarchy because it has no governmental authority. As long as it remains unable to move realistically toward high politics, it will continue to be a community of only low politics. The two key aspects of high politics - security and money - are analyzed in the European context, revealing the hollowness of the common foreign and security policy as well as the fragility of the EMU.
