| Abstract: | "The European Communities (and their successor the European Union) are the best available evidence that humankind is capable of collective self-improvement. Europe has been transformed from the cockpit of the world to a haven of peace, liberal values and economic prosperity. The paradoxical structure of the EU, as a federation of sovereign States, is well-adapted to the historical and cultural reality of Europe but there are internal contradictions in the system that place it under permanent stress.
I expect the EU to survive and even to flourish but it will always be a messy and complicated enterprise." |
