I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the EU or developments there, but I don't see how the EU could become anything more than what the United States is to the several states. How does that advance your theory that "security communities" will replace nation-states as the dominant entity in international relations (if I understand your theory correctly)? All you have with the EU is a possible merger or federation of states that have a lot in common.
