Description
Never before has Europe been discussed as in recent years, but never as today has the "European dream" appeared further from its realization. After 11 September 2001, the project for a European Constitution, elaborated by a "Convention" specially designated by the Heads of State and Government, seemed to materialize, but the European peoples rejected it, expressing their distrust of the Brussels bureaucracy. but also their rejection of a Europe devoid of identity and roots. The voice of John Paul II and Benedict XVI in turn contrasted the model of a Europe rooted in its own Christian tradition to that of a postmodern European Union without a founding principle and a clearly defined identity. The first part of this volume traces the recent history of the European construction, the second examines the main themes on the table today: the models, the roots, the borders of a Europe of which the author traces a possible physiognomy: strong in its principles , flexible in its institutions.
