European Union

The absolute majority of Europeans is most likely rather positive about the European Union, but there has been some negativity towards EU for its whole lifetime.

The most common reason for this is nationalism among European citizens. Some consider that the developments in European integration threaten the sovereignties of their own countries. This is mainly because different organs in EU can make decisions that apply to all member countries even if some of them were against the decision. There has also been some fear that EU will develop to a federation (like U.S. is) which would also be against the idea of a sovereign national state.

EU is also sometimes considered 'distant' when compared to national decision-makers, this may indicate a low state of knowledge about the structures which could be partly causing the criticism towards the so-called suit-men in Brussels.

No. Only European counties may apply for membership of the EU, India is not in or near Europe. India is a country on a subcontinent of South Asia.

No, the currency of Poland is the Polish złoty (PLN), but like most other EU member states, Poland is obliged to adopt the euro once the Polish economy meets certain criteria. However, the predicted date of this adoption is gradually put back by the ruling politicians and Poles are increasingly sceptical about the common EU currency.

Have a stable democratic system, respect human rights, and agree to have a market economy.

The members of the European Union are: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.

In 1957 there was no European Union. Instead, it was called the European Economic Community (which later transformed into the European Union). It had six founding members: Italy, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, and West Germany. The United Kingdom was offered to be a founding member, but refused. Denmark, Ireland, and the UK later joined in 1973, Greece was added in 1981, and Spain and Portugal both joined in 1986. West and East Germany later reunified in 1990, three years before the EEC would be engulfed by the EU.

Morocco was the only country to be denied membership to the European Union. It was denied because it is not viewed as a Europeanized country by the EU, although it does label itself as a European Union. However, Morocco still plans on joining the EU and has not given up hope.

Some people think Turkey has been denied membership to the European Union, but this isn't true. Turkey applied for membership 1987. It is somewhat viewed as a Europeanized country by the EU and was even a founding member of the Council of Europe. Turkey has been a candidate for accession to the EU since 1999, and has not yet joined the EU but has not been denied admission. Negotiations started in 2005 and the result is expected to take at least a decade. Turkey is a very controversial topic for the EU and has been the focus of heated debates for decades. Turkey is a Muslim nation with an Arab majority and has a fast growing population and economy. Some countries argue Turkey should join the EU, such as the UK, because they need all the economic help they can get. But some countries, such as France, argue Turkey should be denied admission because they are not truly a European country, and if they were to join, they'd form the majority of EU delegates as they are expected to surpass Germany in population in the next few years.

The comparism between the definition of economics given by Alfred Marshall & Robbins is that it both studies human behaviors.
