• The lack of power exercised by the European Union (EU) in the international security arena explains its relative invisibility in the US. When Americans do recognise the EU, their interpretations of American history shape their responses to it. Whether puzzled by the loss of sovereignty or by the continuing strength of national identity, the American understanding of European integration cannot be divorced from Americans' own understanding of the American process of nation-building & the exercise of federal power. 8 References.
