Europe for us; why we need Europe. (Denkart Europa; Schriften zur europäischen Politik, Wirtschaft und Kulture; 16) by Falkowski, Christian D - 2011

Nomos, 2011. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Falkowski, an ambassador who has worked in the European Commission's external relations, argues for a stronger integration of European countries to achieve long-term political goals such as sustainable policies, prosperity, energy security, and overcoming the climate crisis, as well as internal and external security. He describes the path towards integration and steps toward uniting the continent, as well as the states that are still characterized by nationalist ideologies, like the Balkans and Eastern Europe; how Europe can benefit from integration in dealing with conflicts like wars, terrorism, international migration, and the struggle for resources; the new global challenges in which the focus of the world will be Asia; and how the European model needs to continue to develop to withstand these challenges, how the EU needs to be modernized, and how member states must overcome disagreements and differences. The book lacks an index. Distributed in the US by ISBS. (2011 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
