MoreNovember 21, 2011 | Only a Federal Europe Can Be an Influence in AsiaBenjamin Newton Brower: How Europe solves its current crisis will reverberate beyond its immediate future; it will dictate whether the Pacific Century is one of prosperity or one where Europe is usurped and exploited by rising powers.

MoreJanuary 4, 2010 | Ukraine and EU ExpansionAndrey Chubyk: Despite being in the center of Europe, Ukraine does not have the perspective of full integration into the Union.
