    EU braucht gemeinsame Außenpolitik
    By

    Politisch hat der Irak-Krieg schon heute verheerenden Schaden angerichtet. Vor allem die internationalen Organisationen UN, NATO und EU gehören zu den grossen Verlierern. Besonders prekär erscheint dabei die Lage der Europäischen Union, auf die ausgerechnet in der jetzigen Phase der Zerrissenheit entscheidende Weichenstellungen zukommen: Bis zum Sommer soll der Konvent seine Vorschläge zur künftigen Kompetenzverteilung in der EU unterbreiten.

    El fin de la ambigüedad
    By

    La question du Cachemire - Après le 11 septembre et la nouvelle donne au Jammu et Cachemire

    By

    Iraq, Iraq, Iraq - a code word for the crisis across the Atlantic and discord within Europe.

    La politique européenne de la terre brûlée Sauver l'Union
    By

    La gravité de la crise européenne et transatlantique ne tient pas tant aux injures et ressentiments réciproques, qui se propagent pourtant comme une traînée de poudre, qu'à la conjonction de deux mouvements ravageurs : une Amérique sans mémoire, une Europe sans vision.

    Disunity holds the EU back from a major global role
    By
