Europe

Why Our Continent Is Worth Fighting For

For many people, the Euro crisis signals danger for European unity. It raises the threat that the member states will revert to acting in their individual national interests. According to Norbert Walter, that would be a fatal mistake. In actuality, the European model has proven uniquely successful. It's economic, political and cultural achievements stand as examples for the entire world. Writing as an economist, the author reminds us of Europe's strengths and why we should fight for our continent.
