The term "United States of Europe" was used by Winston Churchill in a famous speech which he delivered in 1946 at the University of Zürich. He thinks a federal Europe should be created between those states that wish to have a federal Europe (as a form of enhanced cooperation). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_Europe   (1005 words)      Europe: Eclipsing the American Dream? Europe understands that as multinational corporations are becoming more powerful than governments (even enforcing their will on them, with organizations like the IMF and World Bank), the governments will need the support of CSOs to remain a player. Europe spends more on social services not merely to help the poor, but to enrich their society's quality of life. Europe has concluded that in the global future, it must be empathy. http://www.ricksteves.com/about/pressroom/activism/eurodream.htm   (5517 words)      The New York Review of Books: Europe vs. America The costs of European social welfare payments and public services are "unsustainable." Europe's aging and "cosseted" populations are underproductive and self-satisfied. In the aggregate the United States spends much more on education than the nations of Western Europe; and it has by far the best research universities in the world. Europe experienced the twentieth century—invasion, occupation, civil war, anarchy, massacres, gen- ocide, and the descent into barbarism —to a degree unmatched anywhere else. http://www.nybooks.com/articles/17726   (5820 words)      Chapter 2: Security Strategy for Europe and NATO While the vital interests of the United States and its European partners are not directly threatened by conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the partners understand the importance of the issues and the indirect threats to vital areas and interests. The INF Treaty, which removed from Europe and eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons, continues to be implemented in Europe and reduces nuclear tension on the continent. While NATO's effectiveness should not be judged solely on the degree of success it achieves in the former Yugoslavia, a vigorous role for NATO in the Balkans not only promotes the Alliance's leading role in Europe, but also provides an important means for the members to assert a positive influence in the Balkans. http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/europe/chapter_2.html   (7655 words)      The United Europe Foundation President Jacques Chirac of France called Friday for a strong Europe to balance U.S. might even as he and other leaders appeared to back away, at a European Union summit meeting here, from proposed reforms to resuscitate Europe's economy. The countries still have to institute wide-ranging reforms to satisfy EU accession criteria.The vote on Wednesday in Strasbourg cleared the way for the second expansion of the EU in eastern Europe. Europe's importing of a "security culture" from the US is putting basic human rights and democratic freedoms at risk, according to a group of 200 European judges and legal experts meeting in France. http://www.unieurope.org   (5068 words)      United States of Europe The most informative account of the role of America's Insider Establishment in organizing the movement for a United Europe can be found in a six-part report on the Common Market that appeared in installments in the authoritative H. du B. Reports during 1972 and 1973. A day would come when governments would be forced to admit that an integrated Europe was an accomplished fact, without their having had a say in the establishment of its underlying principles. Formally known as the European Community, the Common Market is the direct creation of individuals and organizations that have been involved in various utopian and conspiratorial schemes to establish a world government, a "New World Order," for the better part of this century. http://www.stoptheftaa.org/artman/publish/article_60.shtml   (5367 words)      The President of Finland: United for Europe We have to invest in Europe's strengths: in innovation, communication, education and research.

A Meeting of Government and Private Sector Working Group would be convened in Thailand to draw up within six months an Asia-Europe Investment Promotion Action Plan to promote greater cross-flows of investment between Asia and Europe.

Such an improved rapid deployment capability could also help European States respond more effectively to urgent appeals from the United Nations for civilian resources. Further, the United States could encourage the Europeans to create more innovative crisis-prevention instruments under their so-called "Petersberg Tasks", from a WEU declaration of June 1992, outlining a commitment to develop capabilities ranging from humanitarian and rescue operations to more traditional peacekeeping and military peacemaking functions. http://www.un.org/Pubs/chronicle/1999/issue4/0499p76_2.htm   (1065 words)      Economy of Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Europe's largest national economy is that of Germany, which ranks third globally in nominal GDP, and fourth in purchasing power parity (PPP) GDP. West Europe, with a long history of trade, a free market system, and a high level of development in the previous century, has been wealthier and more stable than the East, even though the gap is converging due to higher growth rates in the East. In Eastern Europe the financial sector is somewhat less developed (mostly because of the communist legacy), but is rapidly developing to Western European standards helped by economic growth in Eastern Europe and the commitment of Eastern European governments to achieve these high standards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Europe   (2895 words)      The New York Times > Week in Review > 'Whole and Free' at Last: America Has Second Thoughts About a United Europe Europe spoke in many tongues at the region's economic forum in Warsaw last month. But it is also divided between formerly Communist states in Central Europe that are enthusiastic about Atlanticism, and other countries, led by France, where dislike of President Bush's America is intense. At the same time, these institutional differences complicate trans-Atlantic understanding because a sovereign America run by an administration for which power is the coin of the realm faces European states that have put their faith in international institutions like the European Union or the United Nations or an international criminal court. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/02/weekinreview/02cohe.html?ex=1398830400&en=4d41700b5065504d&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND   (1115 words)      The Economy of Europe in an Age of Crisis, 1600-1750 In the canonical sequence of stages the economies of early modern Europe occupy an intermediate position situated somewhere between the urban guild economy of the later middle ages and the industrial economy of the nineteenth century. As is well known, it hypothesizes a chronological taxonomy of economic forms or 'stages' that purports to describe in a generalized way how the western national economies progressed from familial and tribal self-sufficiency in the early middle ages to the economy of large-scale industry and international specialization of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Unlike traditional commodities manufactured locally or within the household economy of peasant families, exotic goods and the cheaper kinds of manufactures available through trade had to be paid for with cash, which in the steady state could only be earned by exporting more goods to the urban sector. http://www.eh.net/bookreviews/library/grantham.shtml   (3393 words)      EUROPA - Enterprise - E-economy These steps encompass notably the fostering of a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation; enhancing ICT skills levels to participate effectively in the e-Economy; raising the ability of European enterprises to compete in a modern global economy; and further improving the functioning of the internal market.

The war in Iraq may have raised temperatures in Europe and America and opened a dangerous new rift in the transatlantic alliance, but in Poland there was never much question about which side to be on. "Europe needs Poland," the Pontiff told Polish pilgrims in Rome, "and Poland needs Europe." One pollster said that was like giving Poland a ticket to the E.U. Another reason why support for the E.U. may be gaining ground is the sputtering economy. http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/printout/0,13155,901030602-454455,00.html   (2099 words)      Europe's Mighty Economy Europe's higher taxes also are not as big a burden as they are made out to be.

When the United States battled Marxist insurgencies in Central America in the 1980s, the Europeans equivocated; when an EC commissioner warned, for instance, of the danger of "external intervention feared by all," he was understood to be referring as much to the United States as the Soviet Union.

The new economy in the Council of Europe member states should be pursued within the framework defined in the Council of Europe Convention of 23 November 2001 on Cybercrime and its protocol currently being drafted. Old economy industries resort to the new economy networks and tools to increase productivity, improve their human resources management, gather information about competitors and measure their own performance with others, fund capital increases, pool distribution or retailing capacity, reach more customers, or simply consult the ‘webÂ’ for information. http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/WorkingDocs/Doc02/edoc9398.htm   (12131 words)      The Globalist Global Economy -- Is Europe Falling Behind? The ample rents generated in the European goods markets could be shared between firms and workers, and could always be counted on to help finance the welfare state. Europe has used some of the increase in productivity to increase leisure rather than income— while the United States has done the opposite. The most articulate diagnoses of where Europe stands today argue that — like Stalinist growth in another time and place — the European model worked well for post-war Europe, but is no longer fit for these times. http://www.theglobalist.com/DBWeb/printStoryId.aspx?StoryId=3954   (913 words)      Definition of Corporation corporate taxes ; all publicly-traded corporations have C-corporation status.

A `Europe First' foreign policy is on the defensive, as many Americans come to think that they have already invested too much in European prosperity and security, and that it is high time to reduce commitments and expenditure in Europe. This intention is visible in the package of Russian proposals on the future system of international security in Europe, which centres on the presumption that the new Europe should be recreated as one democratic and secure entity, an all-inclusive order free from spheres of influence. Civil society in Central Europe has re-emerged, up to a point, as a functioning, dynamic societal body capable of taking on the new challenges of the new dispensation, but it is still going through a process of deep transformation, in different ways and at a different pace in each country of Central Europe. http://www.iss-eu.org/chaillot/chai20e.html   (665 words)      The Europe - Asia Meeting (ASEM) - Asem Business Forum, Chair's Statement A key area is investment, where Europe’s financial institutions can themselves mobilise capital for investment in Asia, while at the same time helping to generate domestic savings, through developing local capital and money markets. The creation of an "ASEM Business Forum" reflects the political determination at the highest level to establish relations between Europe and Asia which are just as broad and strong as those between Asia and America and between Europe and America. Besides, attention should also be paid to promote cultural understanding from the business perspective among businessmen and executives; existing Culture Briefing Centres already existing in Europe or Asia can provide a good basis for further development. http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/external_relations/asem/min_other_meeting/bf1.htm   (665 words)      The Seattle Times: Opinion: Success of Airbus symbolizes a vibrant, united Europe The combination of socialism and private enterprise is one of the tools Europe is using to compete with us, just as Japan has done with its close linkage of business and government.

Europe has basically turned its back on the military-industrial complex, thanks in no small part to our willingness (eagerness, even) to engage in wars to liberate and democratize on our terms. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2002167360_floyd02.html   (790 words)      impACTS Mobile, flexible and remote telework is important in modernising working practices and Europe's labour market, and in meeting people's wishes for more flexibility in their lives: popular interest in telework (at about 40% of the total working population), exceeds that of business managers. The full social and economic benefits of this European mastery of crucial next-generation technologies will not be realised until 2010, in the same way that we only now benefit from the investments in EU co-operation in the mid 1980s.
