Yesterday, we wrote about subdivisions forming within the European Union. Today comes an article at EurActiv.com which takes that discussion farther and fleshes it out.
The article hints ever so gently that the EU could break into three (or more) smaller blocs or units which have less internal dissension and more in common. They might have roughly the same membership as suggested yesterday: Visegrad Plus in the east, what author Daniela Vincenti calls "the MED boys" of the south, and the North Sea Union in the north.
If there is a trend in state formation today, it is in the direction of "smaller, more homogeneous, less diverse." Will a breakup happen? It certainly is possible.
