Unia Europejska a europejskie Niemcy

We analyze correlation between the European integration and incorporating Germany into the process of European cooperation. We point out that the European integration after WWII was determined by the creation in the year 1951 of the European Coal and Steel Community. This Community made it possible to control the steel industry of the Member States (among them Germany) in the framework of the common market. It was aimed at stable and harmonized development as well as at preventing of uncontrolled growth of military-industrial complex, increase of production for the army and decreasing probability of the outbreak of the next war. Then - Then - after the deepening of cooperation (taking her new areas) - the European Communities (EC) were created. They are still institutional foundations of the EU. One of the main reasons of the EC creation was willingness to ensure lasting peace in Europe and to create "security community" through a.o. incorporation of Germany in the group of cooperating states. In this paper we analyze security system components created (e.g.) by the EC/EU as well as an origin and changes of their characteristics. We compare the process of German unification (and more general: of defining the German unity, and broader: unity of the German speaking territory) after WWI and WWII. Analysis of similarities and differences leads us to the present stage of the European integration, when the unification of two German states was accomplished for a price of German acceptance of deepening of the integration and the creation of the European monetary union. We analyze various consequences of unification of Germany and the creation of the euro zone. In our opinion they go far beyond the economic or political ones and are connected with the EU Eastern enlargement.
