Question

Analyse any four reasons that make the European Union an influential regional organisation.

Hint:

To remember the EU's influence, structure your answer around four pillars: 1. Economic (Euro, massive trade share, WTO dominance); 2. Diplomatic (France's UNSC permanent seat, soft power); 3. Military (France's nuclear arsenal, high collective defense budget); and 4. Supranational (Maastricht Treaty, shared institutions).
