With EU 'peace'-making into 2009
Most likely we will see more chaos and divisive action in the EU in 2009. One only has to look at the bloc's reaction to the current Middle East conflict.

Våga tala om EU !
Om tio månader är det val till EU-parlamentet, men ingen partiledare säger ett ord om EU, trots att de är hängivna EU-anhängare.
Vad är de rädda för? Att kraven på folkomröstning om fördraget plötsligt ska blossa upp på samma sätt som kritiken kring FRA-lagen?

Putting
Europe to the peace test
Isn't it strange that there is not a word
about disarmament, nuclear abolition (the EU is a nuclear-based
union), nonviolence, reconciliation, no peace-making philosophy
or any serious adherence to the UN Charter in the proposed EU
Treaty?

Does
the European Union Promote Peace?
Analysis, Critique and Alternatives.
A new booklet by TFF's director. One of the very few systematic
analyses of the often-stated claim that the EU is an actor for
peace.
While it may not be completely false, the EU peace capabilities
leaves very much to be desired. Intellectually and morally its
proposed Constitution is a great step backwards compared with
the 60 year old UN Charter.Read more here.

The
ageing EU Lady's hormonal problems: Human Security for chameleons
An impassioned discussion of the EU (Venus) and US (Mars), the
militarization fo the EU disguised as 'human security' and what
could be in it - if anything - for Macedonia and other Balkans
countries. Since governments can't and won't, we better create
human security ourselves, warns the author.

Ny bog om EU
Fremmer
EU freden?
Jan Øberg's "Fremmer EU freden - Analyse, kritik og alternativer"
udkom den 4. august 2005. Traktatforslaget er ikke halvt så
visionært som den nu 60 år gamle FN-pagt. At EU
er et fredsprojekt er en myte, også selvom unionen ikke
er en ny militaristisk supermagt. Se her hvorfor! Endvidere
25 forslag til hvorledes EU skulle kunne blive en freds-union.

Is
the European Union pro-peace?
Read the Constitution/Treaty text and you are in for a surprise!
Contrary to what you have heard repeatedly, there is no hope
for real conflict-resolution and peace there. In this field,
the EU is more in need of reform than the United Nations. This
PressInfo also includes information about TFF's work concerning
the EU, not the least Johan Galtung's analysis and Erni &
Ola Friholt's constructive re-formulations of the Treaty. By
Jan Oberg.

We
want an EU Constitution for the 21st Century, not for the 20th!
A scathing criticism of the existing Treaty text but - in the
best TFF style - full of ideas about what it ought to state.
And the authors deliver the concrete text proposals too. Highly
educational and relevant because the present text will be implemented
to a large extent also without referendums. In
Swedish too.
