A “real” European Union
World order is going to change in the near future. This year 2012 will be remembered as the year the European Union become a reality. There are three big events occurring this year that are promoting a larger economic, political and social unity inside the EU. A united Europe is a project that has taken a long time to create and that had overcome many difficulties. All the indefinitions in the EU in the past have created many problems in the present, but now they work as a pressure mechanism to conclude the project and correct those indefinitions. If this goal of a united Europe is reached, the consequences will be tremendous because the EU will become the largest economy of the world, and it will have enough power to change the world in different ways. The development of the essay will follow a chronological perspective. First are going to be analyzed the problems in Europe before the EU and show the developments as a clue to develop new theories of what can happen in the future. This future is going to be a consequence of the events happening this year and it will be the second point of analysis. The third one will be the theory of the future creation of a real European Union after this year events. Finally, the consequences and importance in the future of the EU created due to the events of this year.
Past
In a diachronic perspective, the European Union was something difficult to think as a reality when the project was being born, but the overcome of all the problems can be seen as a signal of how problems will be overcome. There was a large list of situations that had to be removed in the 1950´s when the project started. To get to the present situation many difficult situations have been faced, but they have been overcome.

Inside Europe there are huge economic differences between countries, but in the past they were even larger. This represented a barrier, with UK having a GDP per capita 6 times larger
