The respective histories of these two unions are analyzed to establish context for the actions that bring about the current situation. These contexts are attached to the present-day crises of the Arab League and the European Union so as to assess the relationships the two unions have within themselves and with one another. These relationships will also contribute to the idea of stable peace, which is discussed at length in this assignment. Also, it will be noted that progress can be made, as the stage of stable peace in the two regions reside is identified in this assignment.
