"This book sets us a challenge: to regard Europe not as a tangle of bureaucracy and regulation, but as a revolutionary model for the future. We cannot afford to forget that Europe was founded to protect us against war and that it is now key to the spread of democracy. Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century addresses Europe's place in the world, looks to the past and the future and argues, provocatively, that it can and will shape a new and better world order."--Jacket.
