Why Europe will Run the 21st Century
by Mark Leonard
Fourth Estate =A38.99, pp170
A better title would be 'Why America Won't Run the 21st Century'. Mark
Leonard, the young think-tanker who coined the phrase 'Cool Britannia'
to reassure Brits they weren't living in a cultural desert, is back to
soothe the nerves of furious Europhiles exasperated by George W Bush.
'American hegemony contains the seeds of its own destruction,' Leonard
says. His thesis, a well-worn one on the pro-Europe left, is that US
foreign policy is too sporadic, costly and destructive to work. He
contrasts this with a more pacifist 'European' approach, based on
long-term engagement and extending membership of the Euroclub to
nations which embrace democracy and the rule of law.
