Bearing more of the burden: in search of a European foreign and security policy

Article Abstract:

Europe's failure to deal effectively with the crisis in former Yugoslavia indicates the important changes and new directions needed for European defense and the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Decision-making in the CFSP must be reformed to encourage the larger countries to work through it rather than independently. Central and East European states must be quickly brought into the political fold of Europe, if not the economic one. Finally, Europe must stregnthen its military defenses without weakening NATO.

Power shifting

Article Abstract:

The industrialized world and developing countries have started feeling the enormous socio-economic adjustment pressure created by the rise of China and increasingly India, as rapidly emerging economies that would dictate the trend of the future. The international community needs to recognize the pivotal roles that China and India are going to play in the future and consider it as an opportunity rather than a challenge, as the new path holds the greatest prospect for a stable and peaceful future.
