ABSTRACT
The fundamental questions facing the European Union (EU) as it moves toward the twenty-first century concern the future of European integration. The main "nonsingle market" issues will, of course, remain on the EU's integration agenda: telecommunications, energy, and environment. The revolution in information technology and the attendant focus on the shape and requirements of the information society point to a reduction in barriers both within and between EU member states, that is a combination of liberalization and integration, centered in the telecommunications field. Environmental issues, on the other hand, will no doubt continue to hold a prominent place on the political agenda throughout the EU. The development of a common security policy in the EU, while a logical adjunct to the development of a common foreign policy, is necessarily intertwined with the broader, and unresolved, issue of how to organize European collective security in the post-Cold War era.
