It is a driving example of the structural change of the Polish Academic Community in the period of glorious transformation at the turn of the XX and XXI century. In spring 2004 WSB-NLU has decided to create new Research and Publication Programme as an attempt to integrate three fields of academic and pragmatic reflection: 1) regional studies including the management of regional development 2) studies in the field of science and technology including knowledge management 3) European studies as an reflection on global challenges and strategic choices related to the future of Europe This Programme will be animated and coordinated by RECiFER—Research Center for European Regions founded by WSB-NLU. In this context the WSB-NLU has decided to create a New European Publication Forum—defined as RECiFER—Eurofutures Publication Series (REUPUS). It is a great honor and pleasure for me to introduce the first volume of this New Series: “Europe—The global challenges”. Let me acknowledge in this place the generous grant of Bank Przemys³owo-Handlowy which creates the financial background for the publication of the first two volumes of REUPUS. Krzysztof Paw³owski Rector of WSB-NLU Nowy S¹cz, December 15th 2004. Europe—The Global Challenges strona: 7 (7) EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION This is the beginning of the RECiFER Eurofutures Publication Series. The first two volumes of this series are dedicated to the European Parliament to promote brainstorming reflection illuminating the global challenges and strategic choices emerging in the European intellectual and political landscape of the XXI century. TheeditorsareexpressingthehopethattheNewSerieswillfindafavorablereception in the environment of European academic and political communities. We are convinced that the discussion related to the great European drama of the XXI century will find some interesting contributions in the New Series. *** The editorial process of the preparation of the two volumes was a beneficiary of the intellectual capacity and good will of 60 eminent personalities from 12 European countries. Naturally the evaluation of the final results of this effort is allocated to all persons who will read the volumes and find some time for critical reflection related to their content. The Editors have however a pleasant obligation to express the deep feeling of gratitude to all Authors who have prepared contributions to be published in the two first volumes of the New Series. We hope that the Authors will appreciate the editorial shape of the two volumes. In the final sentences of the editorial introduction let us say that our volumes were built on the foundation of the pluralistic philosophy open to Authors representing different academic and political value judgments. This is the only way to promote an open- minded discussion related to the Future of Europe. Antoni Kukliñski Krzysztof Paw³owski Nowy S¹cz, December 15th 2004. Europe—The Global Challenges strona: 9 (9) Part One Strong or Weak Europe Europe—The Global Challenges strona: 11 (11) ANTONI KUKLIÑSKI STRONG OR WEAK EUROPE The global Environment of the XXI century I. The Future of the European Union—Internal dynamics versus external relations1 . The external relations are an important factor in the development of the European Union. The global patterns of political, economic, cultural and military power will constantly create new challenges for the Union, new opportunities, which can be transformed into trajectories of success or failure. However the most important determinants of the external relations are located not outside but inside the Union. The internal dynamics of the Union—leading to a strong Union—an active global player of the XXI century or a weak Union—a passive participant of the global scene—is the most important determinant of the external relations of the Union. The two dilemmas—strong versus weak Union—and independent versus dependent Union can be presented jointly in the following scheme: The power Thenatureofexternalrelations of the Union independent–active dependent—passive STRONG ❶ 2 WEAK 3 ❹ In this scheme only two situations are important in political and academic terms. Situation ❶ — strong Europe an active global player—enjoying a relative independency in external relations. Situation ❹ — weak Europe a passive participant of the global scene—pushed into a relative dependency in external relations. 1 A. Kukliñski, B. Skuza (eds) Europe in the perspective of global change.

Europe—The Global Challenges strona: 13 (12) 14 Antoni Kukliñski This is the European “To be or not to be” of the XXI century not only in terms of political, economic, scientific and military power—but also in terms of European honor and dignity. Weak passive Europe will be an object of permanent humiliation on the changing global scene of the XXI century. I hope that I am a false prophet—“Utinam falsus vates sim, dii avertite omen”. I am convinced however, that we should have some reflection related to controversial value judgments, which are outside—conventional wisdom, political correctness and intellectual self-satisfaction.

  • CEPS Wider Europe Matrix E-Version
    THE WIDER EUROPE MATRIX THE WIDER EUROPE MATRIX MICHAEL EMERSON PREFACE BY GÜNTER VERHEUGEN CENTRE FOR EUROPEAN POLICY STUDIES BRUSSELS The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is an independent policy research institute in Brussels. Its mission is to produce sound policy research leading to constructive solutions to the challenges facing Europe. The views expressed are entirely those of the authors. CEPS Paperbacks present analysis and views by leading experts on important questions in the arena of European public policy. They are written in a style geared to an informed but generalist readership of policy-makers, government officials and corporate executives. This book was prepared at the invitation of Aspen Italia, in the context of the Italian Presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2003. Financial support from the Compagnia di San Paolo, Torino, is gratefully acknowledged. The paper also draws on a current project supported by the Science Policy Office of the Belgian federal government on conflict management in the divided states of the European periphery, undertaken by CEPS in collaboration with the Free University of Brussels (VUB); and on a recent project on the Middle East supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

The exertions and strains of two years of negotiations were behind us. They had led to the success of which we ourselves were not initially sure. The outside observers, from Great Britain in particular, who had not believed in it and had therefore taken a wait-and-see attitude, capitulated in view of the new situation. As early as 13 February 1957, the member states of the OEEC and the Six took the decision to begin negotiations in order to ‘create a free-trade zone in Europe, in which the Common Market of the Six is associated with the other member states on a multilateral basis.’ On that March day in 1957, the Hill adorned with venerable buildings, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius and a copy of the Capitoline she-wolf was the scene of a European event for which the city of Rome was pleased and proud to supply its incomparable backdrop.

  • Spain and the European Union Mutually Face at Present
    NYU Madrid POL-UA 9167.M01 Spain and the EU Instructor Information ● Name: Dr. Jason Xidias ● Office hours: Wednesdays, 2-3PM ● Email address: [email protected] Course Description Since 1945, European countries have sought to develop closer political, economic, legal, social, and cultural ties. This ambition has rested on the liberalist assumption that, by working together, Europe’s great powers – particularly France and Germany – could prevent a resurgence of nationalism and war. Integration was also a means by which Western Europe’s most powerful nations could rebuild their war-torn economies and counter their imperial losses in Africa and Asia. This was considered essential in order to regain legitimacy and influence against the backdrop of Cold War superpower rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union. Historian Alan Milward has referred to this integration as “the European rescue of the nation-state.” Over time, European integration has experienced many milestones, such as the creation of the Single Market, the reunification of West and East Germany, and the integration of 10 former communist countries. At the same time, integration has experienced many setbacks – two prominent examples have been the inability to form a more cohesive political union and Britain’s recent referendum to exit the European Union. For Spain, European integration was an essential part of moving beyond three-and-a-half decades of dictatorship under Francisco Franco. After Spain officially became a democracy in 1978, joining the European project ensured greater security, modernization, and integration into the global economy. Since becoming a member of the European Community in 1986, Spain has reaped great economic and social benefits.
