The last fifty years our society has been subject to a substantial globalization process and I would say that this development will continue for the next fifty years aswell. On our continent, the European Union is helping countries to become more open towards one and other and in the long run this will help us become even more open to other continents than we are today.
In the past, different treaties such as the maastricht treaty, which was the foundation for the European Union, has helped European countries to open up their boarders. To travel as a European between the member states is almost as easy as travelling within ones own country. Due to this I reckon that Europe will beginn a developement towards becoming more of a country and the current countries will in the long run be seen as states in the same way as the states in the US. This development will help Europe become a more powerful unit and it will be easier for us to negotiate in different international matters.
I also believe and hope that new treaties between continents will help the globalization process to move forward in order to help diminish the difficulties we have today when travelling to other continents.

I agree with you. I also think (and hope) that we are heading towards a more globalized Europe.
I do think that the Nordic countries will be one of the last to follow, mostly because up here in the Nordic countries we are a bit more separated from the rest of Europe. I too hope that we can be a bit more like US, so that every country will be a bit more like a state. This would as you said, make us a lot stronger which would be an advantage for us.
