in this contemporary world, the citizens are being gradually seen to be the ones with the sovereign powers. this is especially noted here in Britain following both the Scottish and EU referendum. my argument for that war is inevitable in Europe is on the positioning that, domestic affairs is the driving force of most foreign policies. this implies that, ministers go to negotiate on their countries national interest which is derived from the needs and interest of its citizens
the EU has no world governance and states remain sovereign. now, recent actions and situations in the EU such as the mishandling of the Greece crisis, the 2008 EU zone crisis, the recent Brexit referendum and in addition, the rise of the Great war of terrorism has triggered an increase participation of people in politics. people are increasing being disillusioned with party politicians, the way leaders handle things go against the civil liberties of many, many fear that their voices are not being heard and politicians especially that of the UK are not being well representative enough. we are diving into a country of Tory dictatorship where actions are carried out without the consensus of the citizens.
The US currently is being faced with a president-elect whom has caused widespread protest all over America and this has worsened to crimes and increased casualty rates. the emergence of "Black lives matter" in the US has spiraled through out the globe and the discontent is being felt through out. citizens are constantly seeking to make a statement and become radicalized if it means going against the law. i believe some states in Europe will move towards anarchism. Responsible of state governments is to ensure unity and peace within its country. failure to compromise will lead to a system where governments will have to result to force and this is no different on an international stage. with the sovereign power it holds, states can demand what it wants and use force if it wants to. Brexit has already formed a crack in the long tight EU organization. France is planning on following that, EU has no military capabilities and its big players are opting out. countries will want to stop that or demand more and the environment for peaceful negotiation will not be there, force will what is left. the capable ones will survive and the not will return to the way it was before. economy will subsequently crash without cooperation and history will rewind itself and Europe will become the Europe in which Conflict was the norm.
The reaction of people towards Blair in joining the war in Iraq, the resentment remains, Cameron and Libya in 2011, Labour supporters against Hillary Benn in his support for air strikes in Syria, anti- austerity protest in Europe and EU, protest against the mismanagement of Greece, protest for and against refugees as well as the inclusion of Turkey into the EU. this issues all added up to citizens resentment against the system. war is inevitable and we can already see it has begun.
