Quite possible, probable even, (although I'd bet there's some subconscious work going on as well.) Well, all evolution is about reaction to environment and adaptation to need. I do see the creation of EU-type entities as a step in the evolutionary process.
I just propose that it's not so passive or inevitible as you might think. It's all a social construct, and someone is doing the constructing. And like I and others have said, there is a danger in accepting otherwise. Things like Manifest Destiny were also ideas accepted as just the natural progression of humankind. And nations accepted as having some kind of metaphysical bond holding its people together. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
I don't know if what I'm saying applies more to West Europeans than to Central and Eastern Europeans. I'd be curious to hear what others think.
