Opis

Does Europe have the means to defend its own social model in a globalized world at a time when the United States, China, India and Russia are concerned by enhancing their national sovereignties and playing power politics? Would Europe, who would never be a "super state," be able to impose norms over force? That is the main question this book addresses in a very original way.

Recenzje
