Political aspects of security of the European Union Member States

Summary/Abstract: Political security is very often considered through the prism of individual states. In the scholar literature in-depth analyses of this kind of security are rarely encountered in the context of internationalentities that these countries integrate. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to key aspectsof political security in the European Union (EU) Member States.The EU as a supranational organisation, gathering Member States first, ensures the stability of theEU as a whole, and secondly, it ensures that Member States respect common values and principles.Additionally, the EU institutions focus on ensuring the proper functioning of the Eurozone (alsocalled officially “euro area” in EU regulations). Actions that may have a negative impact on the levelof the EU’s political security include the boycott of establishing new institutions conducive to thepeaceful coexistence and development of states.These threats seem to have a significant impact on the situation in the EU in the face of the proposed (and not accepted by Member States not belonging to the Eurogroup) Eurozone reformsconcerning, inter alia, appointment of the Minister of Economy and Finance and the creation ofa new institution - the European Monetary Fund.
