Question

Why can't African Union, Asian Union, etc be formed, as on the lines of EU.?

Answer 1

Umm, there is an African Union, and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) operates along similar lines as the EU, dropping trade barriers, increasing communication and defence co-operation through ARF (ASEAN Regional Forum)...

Answer 2

They are unorganized institutions with a lot of difference with UE.

Answer 3

Asia and Africa are just too large to make into an union.

EU is tiny.  It is smaller than U.S. Canada, Russia or China.

Answer 4

Unions like you speak of are already in the works. NAFTA may be a precursor to the North American union. Talk of an Asian pacific union are also under way once a year by some of, if not the richest people in the world. Be careful what you pray for, a one world government with the three unions being the heads, may not work out as favorably as you think.

Answer 5

In asia it will be possible in the near future. In Africa, there are too much oil and diamonds for it to happen. Foreign countries stay there making troubles just to protect "their own wells and mines".

After all is consumed, and africans have gottten rid of the dominance of religions that makes them breed more than there is food, after all that, it will unite. In asia, 20-50 years, in africa, 100-200 years.

Answer 6

against the law

Answer 7

what makes you think that Africa and Asia are like Europe,those countries are alot farther away from a union or state system being able to work

Answer 8

Yes, why not? No problem, they could go on ...

In Africa we have already an international organization founded as the Organization of African Unity to promote cooperation among the independent nations of Africa. (1)

Asia cooperation dialogue: There are proposals for future South Asian Union. (2) (3)

Answer 9

Do many ethnic, religious, and idealogical differences to form something similar to the EU in either of these continents. Many of the countries of these continents have to much unrest and conflict within themselves to even be considered stable enough to form such a federation.

Answer 10

I am sure than their is an African Union in Africa may be the union is not like Eu but AU is in good position to became like EU but it will take a long time because of the economy and other differences in African nations.

Answer 11

AU is a political security organization; AU (never heard of it); EU was initially an economical union and is proceeding towards a federation of states.
