Abstract :The European Union is an international organization that has been founded, integrated, and expanded with psychological as well as economic and political effects. The union sees itself as a guarantee for the European Continent to live in peace and produces policies in international relations depending on this vision. This article explains the structural, economic, and political underpinnings of EU integration and peace while examining the implications of these phenomena on political psychology. While existing EU literature examines the economic, social, and institutional aspects of the EU and its globalization policies, there are very few studies on the political psychology, and political cultural structure of these phenomena. Therefore, this study focuses on the implications of EU integration, security, and peace policies on political psychology. The study hypothesizes that the EU\\\'s unity, integration, security, and peace policy is dependent upon socio-psychological reasons, primarily tradition, culture, power, and social structure. Moreover, the study\\\'s aim and its anticipated contribution to the literature are to present an interdisciplinary effort and contribute to intellectual discussion on EU integration and peace policies. The study on the EU\\\'s integration, security, and peace policy is delimited by the EU institutional structure and the political dynamics that constitute it.
