Summary/Abstract: To who will belong the future century? What kind of power will be the EU and what role will it play into a multipolar world? Will EU remain a second echelon power, predisposed to intern crises, with major geopolitical structural vulnerabilities and predisposed to dependence on its stronger neighbours or will it succeed to gain its own valence as essential power in this space? Will the EU states succeed to overpass the cultural and identity differences and accept Turkey as their equal into the already built circle? Those questions we’ll try to give a direct answer or, at least, present them into a contextual shape to elucidate the existent options.
