During the 1970s, European economic integration succumbed to "Eurosclerosis," or an inability to move forward because of significant differences between the member states. To what extent is a similar form of Eurosclerosis being seen in relation to the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, especially in light of the responses to the Iraq War and Russia's annexation of Crimea? Is it possible for the EU to find a cure to this new form of Eurosclerosis?
