Abstract:
 
European integration during the Cold War was designed to jointly respond to threats from Soviet socialism and the German Nazis. In the process of integration, European nation-states shape national security with national interests as the center, which means that integration is a collective foreign policy formed by bargaining among governments. Its direction is to provide a basis of trust from the low political field, and then to the high political field. At present, the EU is facing the trend of alienation of security relations, expansion of competition space and blurring of security boundaries. The EU urgently needs to strengthen its own identity, compete for new geopolitical areas, shape its internal jurisdiction through technical sovereignty, and promote European integration to a deeper level. Therefore, the driving force of EU integration has begun to shift to technical sovereignty. This study takes entanglement security as the research framework, focusing on the new driving factors of the development of European integration under the new situation.
