Pro-Europeans often argue that EU membership has specific benefits for member nations such as that the EU encourages economic prosperity among members, that it promotes peace and stability in member states, that it encourages social progress among member states, that the EU gives countries greater leverage on the world stage compared to countries not in the EU, and that Europeans have shared values and identity. They also argue that these benefits outweigh common [[Criticism of the European Union|criticisms and issues of the EU]] for member states.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-12-18 |title=Arguments for the European Union |url=http://civitas.org.ukhttps//www.civitas.org.uk/eu-facts/eu-overview/arguments-for-the-european-union/ |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=Civitas: Institute for the Study of Civil Society |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=We need a new pro-Europeanism |url=https://www.cer.eu/insights/we-need-new-pro-europeanism |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=Centre for European Reform |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Aims and values {{!}} European Union |url=https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/principles-and-values/aims-and-values_en |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=european-union.europa.eu |language=en}}</ref>
